Default Drywall tapered edge should be on inside or outside corner?

You are correct generally. You also reminded me of one suggestion I
should have made. Don't mix tapered and square edges on the same side of
the same corner.

I am hanging drywall and putting metal corner beads on outside corners
and paper ones on the inside ones. Since its usually not possible to
have tapered sides on both types of corners, which type of corners
should have tapered edges? or is there some mix?


Normally, tapered edges on corners don't help you as much as they help in
the middle of the wall. You only get tapered edges on corners if you hang
the drywall vertically. In most applications, it's better to hang
horizontally. It usually reduces the overall total length of joints you
must seam.
