Right/High Side, since that's they way I learned in Motor School. Several reasons include if the bike is not securely on sidestand and goes to fall, you won't get your ankle caught underneath it because it will fall away from you rather than on you. Also there is more room to mount and dismount from the right when the handle bars are turned to the left. Several other benefits, but those are career specific.

Ditto, for the same reasons

Depends on where it's parked. In the morning in the garage it's the right side, coming home from work it's next to the fence so I get on the left side. Either side I can still swing my leg over everything.

I usually use the left side but if someones parked to close on that side I'll use the right.
