Depends on where the runner is trying to return (and generally, which fielder is attempting the pickoff tag). If 1B is tagging, runner will generally slide to the outfield side of the bag, and the base path is the best 90 degree angle. If 2B is tagging, runner will generally go straight to the bag, and tag is on the 2nd base side, so parallel to base line gives you the best 90.
