Sailing question Jibe & MOB

When preparing to jibe do you strenuously center the main or do you take the risk of letting the wind make the winching easier by allowing it help centre the boom somewhat at the risk of it swinging right over?

And also during a MOB recovery turn is it more efficient to do a figure 8 maneuver or just jibe it round in a tight circle then let the sails luff?

Note: And yes I know this is a flying forum😀
