Generally speaking, it doesn't matter which side to roll the person on. If there is an obstruction in the way, that will dictate which side the person can be rolled. Also, you will want to take into consideration injuries which may affect the side the person is rolled on. More severe injuries you may want to roll on the injured side for support. Otherwise, roll onto the uninjured side.

What are the differences in CPR for an unconscious adult with a pulse and an unconscious adult without a pulse?
CPR for the lay person, denoted just CPR, there is no longer a pulse check for an adult, so once CPR is started, it will be continued unless the person begins to show signs of life. In CPR-FPR (CPR for the Professional Rescuer) there is still a circulation check, so RB at 1 breath / 5 seconds is part of that certification.
