6 years ago I think for consistency it would be better to use uppercase. I'm not sure why the chemCompTypes have been converted to uppercase, but most likely to work around uppercase/lowercase inconsistencies in the original .cif files.

http://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_v50.dic/Items/_chem_comp.type.html shows them as lowercase, but mentions they are case insensitive.
However, the rcsb serves them all via uppercase, and all of our examples are in uppercase.
