I get on the left side of the motorstick primarily so that the model doesn't try to turn off the line as I move forward. I assume this is the reason others do it, too. Unless the model is near the end of the flight – and very low on power – the props seems to get past the line pretty neatly when I come in from the left side of the prop.
I use a 3' Qualatex balloon inflated tightly. The pull and drag combine to make it reasonably maneuverable. There is nothing much as frustrating as trying to steer with a flat balloon. It takes way too long for it to react, and it's very hard to catch and move the model.
The higher you try to steer, the more the lag gets in the way. But the 3' balloons have worked for me at the top of Lakehurst and Akron.
