If you're doing PVC conduit (which it sounds like you are) I would make sure to put the hole far enough from the walls of the box. You want to be able to insert the "box adapter" through the hole to connect into the female PVC conduit opening that you're connecting to. If It works out nicely I have the bell-end of the conduit against the box, I think it looks nicer than a coupler - but sometimes you need to go into an LB or use a conduit coupling. BTW, I've been able to make some nice bends with a big pot of boiling water to heat the conduit - it's barely hot enough, but better that than winding up with a scorch mark.
