Rattlesnek Cage [Right, Black]

Side-entry cages are ideal for smaller bike frames or full-suspension bikes where vertical clearance is limited. They allow you to slide your bottle in from the side rather than pulling it straight up, making it much easier to access your water without hitting the top tube or rear shock.

This depends on where you mount the cage and which hand you prefer to use. If you are mounting the cage on your downtube and want to grab the bottle with your right hand, a right-side entry is usually the most ergonomic choice. If you are mounting it on the seat tube, you may prefer the opposite side depending on your reach.
