Unless you use sona tubes on top is the only choice. If you pour concrete in the hole without a sona tube the frost will heave it out of the ground.

Oh boy...Put in 5 posts already last year without the sonotubes.

I thought they were only necessary if you have an above ground section so it's level, or the soil is collapsing around the hole b/w the excavation and the pour.

They keep the frost from grabbing the uneven concrete and lifting it. There is a good chance they will shift. Concrete under the post work well just dig below the frost line and pour in 1 bag of fast setting dry then some water no need to try and mix it.
