Sean, What is the size of the cutout you need? 1/10" headers typically have square pins. If the switch and the jack are going to be soldered to the board I would use a round hole for all of the pins. For a majority of applications I use a finished hole five over corner to corner, the longest distance if not square. Unless they are alignment pins, I would advise against using a square hole in any case.
Cheers!
