Default Heat the upstairs or the downstairs ?

My house is a split level with baseboard heaters in ever room, upstairs & downstairs, I have always just heated the upstairs and have the downstairs thermostats just barely turned on. I have not had any mildew or mold growth so heating it was of little concern to me, until just now.
I was thinking (again) that if i heated the downstairs it would rise and heat the upstairs, eventually the 2nd floor floors would get and stay warm, i imagine..

Which brings me to my point which is could it would it or should it be cheaper to heat from the bottom floor of the house up or the 2nd floor only ?

I am going to test it out this year once it starts to get below zero, opinions on this tactic would be appreciated as this is a theory i want to try.
