Toward which direction/heading does Eve rotate: 90 degrees or 270 degrees?

I should really know this by now, but I'm really bad at 50/50 choices.

Local East (90 degrees) is defined by the rotation of the CB. So all CBs rotate toward a 90 degree heading, by definition.

You might be thinking of Venus.  Venus rotates backwards, and conventionally we consider 'north' there to point roughly the same way as Earth's north.  So the sun rises in the West on Venus. We just say Venus has a negative rotation speed  so we can use familiar direction. 

RSS has Venus rotate backwards as well, so you would want heading 270° if you are one of the very few people able to attempt a return from Venus in RSS.

For Eve, heading 90° helps, a little.

No, North is defined by the "right hand rule" and the planet's rotation.

Venus rotates backwards compared to the other planets, but I'm pretty sure that stock Eve rotates in the same direction as every other body in the stock system i.e. in the same (anticlockwise) direction as it orbits around its parent body.
