it doesnt really mattter that which direction the object is thrown....
like if u use “+” for objects which are thrown downwards then “u”will be in negetive and acceleration due to gravity will be posiive …...so if the object is thrown upwards...then “u” will be positive and acceleration due to gravity will be negative …
it actually doesnt matter cause grvaity doesnt act in any other direction except downwards.....
hope ur doubt  is cleared...thnk u
