I think you should practice in both directions, I can do almost the same heights either way, It will benefit in the future so you can vary your riding, It will help with your competition/natural riding, sometimes you will not always be able to sidehop to your favourite side because of the layout of the course etc.
Or if you really want to be good and sidehop with either foot in either direction check this out.
