Depends on the record... I find knowing your records makes the biggest difference with mixing. Learn different mix points by practicing loads and you will find that some records blend well and others, are sods. Some records are well designed for timing and others have huge jumps in volume, bass and sound... so just be careful and make sure you learn your records well would be my advice. Have fun with it!

For fast mixing I find its best to cue 64 beats after first break... its difficult to have everything ready by that point and for mixing out smoothly etc... so I'd wait until you more comfortable with mixing in general.
Agreed.. depends how long the intro is on the incomming tune and the outro of the outgoin.. also wether the melody runs on for a long time or not after the 2nd or if ur mixing quickly 1st break...

also can depend on the style of music ur mixin i guess
