Fish with the type of reel you enjoy fishing with the most. I prefer using spinning reels for most of the fishing I do. It is a common misconception to think spinning reels cannot catch big bass or other big fish. I have caught +8 pound bass, +40 inch snook, +40 inch muskie, sharks, and other big fish on spinning reels I use for bass fishing.

Now left hand or right hand reel?

I personally doing left hand, but I use right hand and it is not that different. I use left hand because of injury on my right hand.
