Whatever helps to improve / lengthen the glide, will improve the efficiency of P&G. The glide is essentially what make P&G so efficient.

So if I start simple with an injector kill switch for glides, should I always shift to neutral and have to bump start the engine every time?

If you stay in gear, the engine compression will drag you down.
So yes, you must go into neutral.
Bump starting in the highest possible gear is preferred - better than using the ignition key + starter engine
(the ignition easily wear out on some cars, my Volvo being one of them)
