Ripping miter cuts

Using a left tilt saw, when ripping long miter cuts ( 36" ) do you
use the
fence on the left of the blade or the right and why?
I find that when I use the fence on the right I have a hard time
keeping the
stock against the fence, even with hold downs and push sticks it
seems that
the stock wants to ride up the tilted blade.

Have you tried using a feather board locked in a miter gage slot to
keep the stock against the fence?
This is in addition to a hold down.
Another suggestion would be to use the "Board Buddy" product (Tapered
plastic spring loaded rollers).
