MIG welding rounded is better. If you can do it. TIG and Gas welding its not as critical. Like shine said tight fit/no gap is most important with them. MIG sometimes it's preferable to have a gap.when butt welding
MIG welding sheet you don't want to lay down beads. Skip around, tack weld, connect the dots.
either , a tight gap is what's important,
I know you are joking..... but what I meant was if the work or space allows it. Not if you personally could do it.
LOL. Check out @pugsy123 post about his quick scuff and shoot of 69 el camino.I found out today the best way to not find body panel issues, is to not strip the existing paint off. I prepped the passenger side door jamb yesterday for epoxy and stripped the existing paint off of the driver's side today to find an issue.

This is how it always goes on older cars.

This patch is a 3-1/2'' x 3" which will be butt welded with a mig welder. It's my understanding I would want a gap for full penetration so I have weld material to grind smooth.
If I was tig welding, there should be no gap.
Where exactly on the vehicle is this patch going? (picture?)
Is there a stiffener plate behind?
