We use quite a bit of CEM1 for our high volume single sided through hole
boards. The only problem we have with it is warp and twist. So I would be
not want to use it for SM if I had any discrete parts larger then 1206 due to
a greater CTE.
We have also used the V notch on the break-a-ways. Do to the extrem
bending of the board to break these apart I would not use them with SM
either.
The V notches work well on our through hole boards but we had to spend
some time with our assembly people to teach them the proper way to break them
apart.
