The majority of my landings in SYD the last few years have been towards the South, so I concur with the Port side of the Aircraft (A seats) (Ofen great views of the CBD).

As for takeoff, againthey tend to be to the South, if using 16L the turn is to the left so the A seat - if 16R the turnout is to the right so the Starboard side.

In any case, veiwing is generally better on landing approach.
