It's better to stay level where possible and yaw to turn on planets rather than bank or point fully nose down if you want to stay cool.
It comes down to the way the planetary approach suite works:

This guy bug reported it some time ago and it was proved by QAJonny that it actually isn't a bug in post #12 explaining exactly how the PAS works on Planets:
"Hey Everyone, Malic a7 MickyG1982 have hit the nail on the head with the answers. I have spoken to the design team and the programmer behind the feature and they say "the fiction is that in near-planet flight the cooling and power for the thrusters all gets re-arranged to make the ventral ones strong enough to fight gravity, this leaves the lateral and dorsal thrusters seriously impaired."
