As smooth as possible is the goal, tapering into any size/shape difference going into the mounting flange.
Keeping the distance from the exhaust ports to the turbo as short as possible to keep the pulses as strong as possible into the turbo. Shorter also minimises heat loss (the hotter your exhaust, the more efficient your turbo runs).
