which side to sit for views of SF (East coast flights)

I'll be flying in and out of SFO in March from the East coast and am wondering which side of the plane would provide the best views (e.g., views of SF, Golden Gate bridge). I'll be flying in a narrowbody plane (an A320).

Arrival time into SFO is just before 8pm (so that might be a little late for any views given the daylight hours in March) and departure time is a little before 7am.

A search yielded the following threads, from which I'm guessing left-hand-side might be best in my situation both for arrival anf departure, but not sure if I'm making the right assumptions since these threads don't quite match my situation; they focus on flights between SFO and LAX or SEA in a narrowbody and between SFO and LHR in a widebody. From the below threads, it sounds like the type of plane (i.e., narrowbody vs. widebody) can affect the choice of runways used, while the specific route will of course be affected in part by where the plane is coming from or heading to.

Any thoughts?
