From the perspective of a non airline pilot -

Always prefer to turn to the right. Puts me (in the LHS) on further away from the centre of the turn, and much more in tune to teh momentum of the turn etc.

Also I am closer to the wing that is going to hit anything, and the wheel that would/could run off the tarmac. I also operate turbine in and out of poor airstrip surfaces, and I find that that helps looking at the ground closer to the edge where it's usually of poorer quality.
