Begginer question (not annoying ;) )

Don't call it annoying , we were all new man .

It only matters on what side you grind with . If you grind on the left , you want it on your right side , so you don't bash it as much .

So I'm currently snowboarding and I jump on rails 50 50 frontside (from my toe edge) in a goofy stance (right foot forward), what do you think would be best?

Snowboarding and BMX are far to be similiar, with my snowboard, I jump some things I would never hit with my bike, and don't hit well some rails that would be easy to ride with my bike.
Also, I'm left foot forward on a bike and I ride goofy on a snowboard, I learned to a skier friend how to ride a snowboard and a BMX and... he ride goofy on a snowboard like me, but got the right foot forward on a bike so the conclusion is how you should do is how you feel comfortable.

Then, as brayden said, you generally want your sprocket on the opposite of your grinding side, but alot people run 4 pegs so you'll end by grind on the drive side, to avoid problems like snapping chain or bending sprocket tooth, a guard sprocket is great.

But what you said first, like a guy with right foot forward for cruising, spins... etc... and switch to left foot forward for grinding only !
This would be fucking annoying for many many things so if that happens to you always keep the same foot forward.

I was having a nearly similar problem with my fakies, I ride left foot forward but after a 180 I was always doing the half cab with my right foot forward, and I was just mastering them like this, until the day I decided to learn full cabs and realize this would be a problem but after 2 years of fakies that way, that was really hard to correct the problem, it took me a while to relearn them the proper way (and especially to make them natural this way).

It doesn't matter at all. If you grind on the right and only have 2 pegs it would make sense to go lhd so you don't risk landing on everything. Some people that run 4 pegs like to have the drivetrain on their natural grinding side as they're less likely to mess up and land on their sprocket or whatever. It's nothing to worry about, unless you start breaking parts all the time.

This.

Nothing's wrong, maybe for the most effective and strong setup, go with drive on the opposite of your natural grind side. It's not necessary, though. My friends run right side drive and a drive-side hub guard on their rear axle since they grind on the drive side.
