I don't think it really matters. In Mach3, if you have CV turned off, it will pause at each line of g-code. With CV turned on, it shouldn't pause at all. One important thing is that all the CV settings should be turned off, both in the general config page and the settings screen. If any of the CV settings are turned on, you'll get mixed results.
How your CAM program interprets your drawing and creates the code is the only thing that the way you draw the part will affect. Imo, there only one way to draw a part in a 2D CAM program. A circle is a circle, an arc is an arc, a line is a line. You can't substitute one for another and end up with the same drawing. You either draw your part correctly, or you don't.
Bottom line is what's in your g-code, not what's in the drawing.
