I am FW and RW rated and fly just as comfortably in the LHS or RHS on either type. Although I'm not endorsed on the Airbus, I have flown the A320 simulator (Beijing) and didn't notice much difference between the LHS/RHS controls. I am right-handed but can't write properly with my left hand - this causes problems in light RW a/c lacking autopilots and/or trims as I need my right hand to steady the cyclic. Mind you, I know a scenic RW pilot who flies the cyclic with his knees (!) while twiddling panel instruments/DVD cam/background music with both (free) hands.
