New super above or below?

Clarification of what I meant:  Honey comb built in the supers, for storage, will (from my experience) almost always be built of drone cell size.  Bees naturally do this because they can use less wax to produce fewer cells, which because of their larger size, will hold the same amount of honey.  Simple efficiency!  This will be done in a queenright colony and has nothing to do with laying workers.
Keeps who like to replace older combs in the nest, by using their newly built storage combs won't be able to use these because they will be used by the queen for drones and not for worker brood. [Unless, for some reason he is interested in raising large numbers of drones.]   
If you "crush and strain" to get your honey, obviously, the size of the cells will be totally unimportant to you.

Good Lesson! Thanks Ef

  I have not seen them build drone sized cells in the supers, and always assumed it was because they had built all the drone comb they wanted in the brood chamber...  It seems I am in need of a better understanding on my part...  I even use some of last years super frames for this years nucs/hives splits and starts...

"If you want nice foundationless frames, instead of a complicated work of art, you need to alternate fully drawn frames and foundationless ones."

yes!

"Just keep in mind that you'll probably end up with frames of drone cells."....Clarification of what I meant:  Honey comb built in the supers, for storage, will (from my experience) almost always be built of drone cell size.

yes! my experience as well.  in supers where i place foundationless frames for comb honey between frames of fully drawn comb as pete mentioned,  the bees will always build and draw out drone sized cells for honey storage.
