It's best to put the weight on the bike instead of your body, if you can... Makes for a much more comfortable ride, and a lot less wear & tear on the rider.
I usually use a pair of Ortliebs, and try to balance the load. I'm a left-foot-downer, so if there's only one pannier (occasionally, and I have a little briefcase that clips to my rack) it goes on the left side.

I'm a right-foot-downer, and have always put the pannier on the left side.

I'm a right foot put downer too. The basket is fine on the left. And did I mention that Wald baskets are made right here in the good ol' USA
For the benefit of the board and this thread won't you put the lap top in the bag and take them in the shower?
