You should use whatever you need to make it look like whatever it's meant to look like. It would help if you showed us the concept. But if you want to have harder edges you should insert extra loops nearer to the corners (the nearer you insert them, the sharper the corner will be). Or you can just use turbosmooth and tick…

2, 46ich £100, rear-views and a 56ich, £800 rear-view. Occasionally i set them up for multi-monitor mayhem and the picture quality is pretty decent.
