Correct DI from DK throws and Mixups questions

I play DK and I like to cargo throw into things as much as possible.

Sometimes it makes me salty and they asked how they should DI to avoid that follow up, and I just tell them I don't know.

What are the best ways to DI DK's cargo throws? I would like to know so I can start to condition them to DI the forward throw and then up throw, those sort of mixups. I already do them but I'm not really putting much thought into which ways they're actually DIing.

So, Cargo FThrow - DI down (if they do this an you up throw, you get a free follow up)
Cargo UpThrow - DI behind DK (DI up or forward gives a free follow up)
Cargo DThrow - DI up (avoiding touching the floor to escape tumble for the tech chase, not possible at low percents)
DThrow - DI down (DIing in allows for a regrab even against floaties)

So if they're expecting a cargo fthrow, throw behind and they won't go anywhere for a free follow up.

Does anyone know other useful things here? I want to make the most of DK's grab game.

EDIT: I know there are guides Poobs, but none of them I've read flat out say the correct DI directions.

The best thing is to just do lab work yourself and go from there imo, but for me it depends on where i am in the stage:

Cargo FThrow (off stage) = DI up
Cargo FThrow (on stage) = DI down

Cargo UThrow = DI behind

Cargo DThrow (off stage) = DI up
Cargo DThrow (on stage) = DI towards whatever platform is closest
