All things considered, in a Bell, I would take the left crosswind because the ships hangs left skid low, and it will be easier to land with the left crosswind, Also, as I approach and crab left into the wind, I have better visibility of my LZ sitting in the right seat.

Having done Private, Commercial and ATP ratings and check rides at the Bell School, and many recurrent courses, Bell ground school and flight instructors state that the HV curve does not apply to descent/landing.
