Almost always, unless you are exporting the linework to another program. Some other programs don't like AutoCAD polylines, and prefer lines.
On the other hand, polylines can contain data/features that lines can't, such as width and curves.

How do you Draw Polyline Arcs in GstarCAD?
With GStarICAD, a polyline is a connected sequence of arcs and lines that is treated as a single entity. You can draw a polyline with any linetype and using a width that either remains constant or tapers over the length of any segment. When editing a polyline, you can modify the entire polyline or change individual segments. After you specify the start point of a polyline, a prompt box provides several options as you draw, such as Distance, Halfwidth, and Width. You can specify different starting and ending widths to create a tapered polyline segment. After you draw at least one polyline segment, you can use the Undo option to remove the previous segment. After you draw two or more polyline segments, you can use the Close option to complete the command by drawing a segment that ends at the start point of the first polyline segment you drew. Choose Done to complete the command without closing the polyline.
How do you Draw Polylines in GstarCAD?
You can create a series of line segment using LINE command A line consists of two points: a start point and an endpoint. You can connect a series of lines, but each line segment is considered a separate line entity. In a simple line which is connected by several line segment,each line segment is considered a separate line entity,each line segment can be editted seperately and doesn't effect other line segment. You can specify line properties,including color.line type. Use polyline objects instead of line objects if you want the segments to be connected as a single object.
