I usually find cylinder caps look manky as Ngons. Not always but I chop 'em up where they're visible, just in case.

As for tris... avoid if possible because they often add useless polys. Obviously there are times when you can't avoid them but a completely triangulated mesh gives me the heebie jeebies.

Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
