Question left or right?!!!!

hello guys
lets talk about anti-clockwise rotorcrafts,,,,
if we are in a hover flight and an adverse wind condition, and the wind is from the left side of the helicopter which could cause tail rotor vortex ring state, and if the wind is from the right side of the heli, will reduce power of the aircraft, and may lead to a full left pedal.
so what do you think is better, if we don't have the choise to be head wind, to put the wind left or right????
