Re: How to better end batch script exit / b or goto: eof?
If you need to set the ERRORLEVEL for the script (or a subroutine) then you should use exit /b [number].
Otherwise they are pretty much interchangeable in my experience (happy to be corrected on this though) – so use whichever you prefer the look of I guess.

I used to end subroutines (called by call) via exit /B, and end the main program (called at the command-prompt) via goto :EOF

Other than being able to return an ERRORLEVEL, I think that the only difference is that EXIT will work even if Command Extensions are disabled, thats a pretty rare edge case though.
