I'm probably too anal about it, but when I drill panels for folks I start with a center punch, then progress up through 5 bit sizes to keep the amount of metal being removed at any one time to a minimum. That way I don't have to tape the front. When drilling MiniWave LED rows, I cheat - I had a steel template made that I can just clamp over the panel to ensure that the holes are lined up.
