On the issue of 'good side'. Most people probably do indeed have a 'good side'.

I've read several articles/tutorials from a photographer who studied under Monte Zucker. One was about facial analysis as one of the first steps to taking a great portrait. The majority of people aren't visually symmetrical and will probably look better from one side, than from the other. If we, as photographers, can determine this, it can help.

Although, what we think is their best side, and what they think...may be complete opposites.
