Default Current baluns & longwire

I have made a couple of the NJQRP W1CG low power 4:1 current baluns.
See:
http://www.njqrp.org/balun/index.html

The author says they can be used for longwire. Inasmuch as the
balanced terminals seem to have identical circuitry behind them, it
would not appear to matter to which balanced terminal you connect the
longwire. Where do you connect the other balanced terminal? To RF
ground? To a tuned counterpoise? To the sheath of the coax on the
unbalanced side?
