I use a hole punch to make a window in black cloth electrician's
tape, then use the same tape for a mount.

I don't think that it makes much difference - at least I've never seen it. 
Sometimes I remember to take a Sharpie and color the pinhole black, other times
I forget.  I haven't seen a difference, though there should be a theoretical
one (or perhaps there is one under certain circumstances, like shooting into
the sun).
