When making flat patterns I prefer to have all of the rest in a single s01 subfile.
Make the pattern, add one subfile, and you're done.
I don't see that neither mirroring nor rotation is better or prefered when creating subfiles. It depends on the symmetries in the part.
Have a look at my part 30837, using both mirroring and rotational positioning.
