While either may work; square can make the result too thick to finish
properly, so I suggest mitering. The miter need not be precise.

How about in the situation above a door way, for example, where an
inside corner meets?

You have the horizontal piece coming together with a vertical piece.

Would you do a "reverse" miter? Where the material on the edge sticks
our farther than the corner?
