To the left for me. I enjoy wearing the sporran strap buckle to the front, tucked behind my sporran. The buckle is on my right side. That makes it easiest to push the sporran to the left for dancing, or the men's room.
If I know I'm going dancing I prefer to leave off the sporran and wear a vest to hold what I need to take along for the evening. In fact, Hamish taught me years ago, that kilts don't need a belt and a vest or short jacket beats a sporran. Tried his advice and find it much more comfortable than dealing with a sporran. Sporran free also lets more of the glorious tartan show.
If you're a single gent and enjoy dancing, go to the dance wearing one of those ruffled pirate shirts like you see with kilts on the covers of romance novels. The ladies will ASK YOU to dance.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
