The best answer from the standpoint of drafting is to rotate into the wind.

However, in my experience, pace lines on open roads in non race situations almost always rotate left. This keeps more of the group out of traffic, and seems to pretty much be the convention.

Sometimes on training rides (that might as well be informal races) it's agreed to rotate right into the wind. But I've never seen that work well with more recreational groups.
