From what I understand, the tail rotor wants to push/roll the helicopter a certain way (to the right on CCW rotating blade helicopters), so the pilot has to counteract with the opposite direction cyclic (left in CCW helicopters). This explains why Hueys (for example) hover left skid low, and A-Stars hover right skid low.

Just what I've picked up over time..
