I also think that rounding half away from zero would be the most obvious choice, as it does not introduce a bias for random numbers distributed around 0 while being close to what I would expect from school mathematics.

The case of n*(random() - 0.5) which I assume as common, this should work well, which is not the case for rounding towards +infinity.
