Most service panels will flush mount just fine. Widths tend to be less
than the usual 14 1/2" stud cavity and depths to fit into 3 1/2". The
popular Square D QO line can be used with meter outlet above or below
the beakers. On my last installation we used the below breaker outlet
to the meter. That panel was a 200 A. I suspect that most service
panels will mount breakers up or down with no problems. Check with
your local building inspector in case there is some code requirement
for the main disconnect to be at the top or bottom. HTH
