Being the R2
My gut feeling is to stand on the side of the blockers so I can see the spikers touch the tape. Also for blockers who are pentrating the net and interferes with the third contact before it's made.
As instructed, I stand on the side of the spiker. A lot of the time I'm not sure if I can really see tight plays and who touched the net. However the advantage of standing on the side of the spiker is that my view is not obstructed when there's team blocking. Also I can see if there's a lift attempted by the blockers when the ball falls in between two blockers. From the side of the spiker, I've also find it easier to see if the blockers are in the net in fast plays. I can usually tell this by where the spiker lands, becuase I scrutinize the spiker more than the blockers.
I still find myself sometimes just standing on the side of the blockers...force of habit.
