The simplest thing to do is to disable selection of your style, then create two selectable substyles labeled "Style Name- Stuff On Top" and "Style Name- Stuff On Left", then copy postbit_legacy to postbit in the Stuff On Left substyle. There are, of course, more elegant solutions, but this is the simplest and does not require a hack or any programming knowledge.

Or you can use this hack which gives the user the possibility to choose postbit style

If you're going to use a profile field, why not just put a conditional in the postbit template and forgo additional templates and hacks altogether?

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field999']=='Classic'">
(paste postbit_legacy here)
<else />
(leave original postbit here)
</if>

Well, this would require editing all postbits in all styles.
Now if you have a lot of styles this becomes a lot of work ...

Furthermore, this generates an additional if in every postbit.
Although this shouldn't hurt much (you woldn't even notice it), it does cost performance.

I think this hack is a more elegant solution.
