I tend to run mine the typical Yanqui way, except if I build myself a c/b bike, I'll run the front brake lever on the right.

As a Brit (even if living in Yanquiville!), and a motorcyclist -- front right, please! That hand is 'trained' to give me the bulk of the stopping, trained to squeeze not to grab, and I have better control with my dominant hand.
