Corner bass traps are out of the way of direct reflections, so they should have the paper/foil facing toward the room. This absorbs more bass, and avoids sucking out all the mids and highs. This article compares faced and unfaced rigid fiberglass at various densities:

Regardless, you do not want plywood behind corner-mounted panels.
