position question, cylinder vs circle, what do you do?

I am currently using PCDMIS 2019 and have a couple questions for the experts.

1.) When measuring position using xact, let's say back to datums A, B, C to keep things simple, do you use a cylinder or a circle? 

2.) When do you use a cylinder? do you only use a cylinder when perpendicularity is called out? when do you use a circle?

3.) When using a cylinder for position, what does "FIT TO DATUMS=ON" mean, and what does "USE AXIS=WORST" mean? In the report window next to the feature name, what does (START PT) mean?
