I don't think it really matters which side the throw levers are on, as long as they are not going to be in your way, ie: get released by accident. I can't really speak to the MOA question (not shooting scoped yet), but as I understand it, built-in MOA only really comes into the equation when you are going for max range, and depending on whether you are mounting to an upper with / without MOA cant built in... If it's a zero MOA upper + zero MOA mount, then your limit is based on the amount of adjustment that the scope allows for. Additional MOA in the upper and / or the mount simply adds to the possible adjustment, increasing your range... I could be somewhat off on that explanation, but I think that's the general gist of how / why people use +MOA mounts / uppers...

Cantilevered scope mounts are designed to be mounted one way. You wouldn't be able to reverse them.....unless you wanted to mount the base of the mount on the handguard and not the upper receiver.  Umm, depends on the application. This MAY be so with an AR, but not so with others. Look at what the CG does with M14s and FN folks have done with SCARs. |
