I'm right handed, but I use the L.

My right hand is already doing so much that it's easier to use the L-trigger to shield. Regardless, it's like asking if you prefer tap jump on or off, but even that makes more sense. L or R, whichever you use, is nothing important that changes much of anything.

I have L set to grab, due to shielding with R and not wanting to deal with the z button. Also X set to specials

L. Since when I played melee wavedashing with R gave my right hand too many things to do, so, I use L.

I mainly use L to shield because it feels a bit more natural to me as it is closer to the control stick, so when I shield and roll it feels more normal than it would if I had used R to shield.

I'm an L shielder. I should probably map R to something other than shield and try to work it in to my game, but it might be more trouble than it's worth.
