This pocket is free from deco bottles, leashes, etc. So access may be quicker. The left pocket contains things that I may need for the dive, but it doesn’t matter if it takes a few extra seconds to get it. My left pocket contains things like a pre-rigged SMB, extra double ender, jump spools, etc. It depends on what kind of dive it is (open ocean, lake, cave, wreck). I keep my wet notes in my right because I access them a lot and it just easier to pull them out while I swim.

Like Scott said, It's really a matter of preference for the diver. I have a dive buddy that is left handed, and he likes to keep his wetnotes in his left pocket. Mask, double ender etc.. he keeps in his right. He is currently not making dives that require him to carry a stage (other than a 40cf AL of o2), so it's not in his way.
Again, whatever floats your boat.
