Sewing sleeves into knitted jumper

I'm assembling a drop-shoulder (I think that's the right term!) jumper that I've just finished knitting for my GS. I can't decide whether it is best to sew in the sleeves before or after the side seams are sewn, so I thought I would ask you talented ladies what you would do smile.

Also, the body has about 8 stitches cast off each side where the underarm will be (all on one row, not gradual). I presume that I have ease the right-angle of these cast-offs into a curve/straight line as I join in the straight top of the sleeves?

It stops the evening munchies

Of course, you may not be tempted!

Jalima you're right there except I have other temptations!

Hi Miamellor. I think posting your request on ONE conversation would have been enough - you have gone in for overkill, posting the same thing on 7 threads!
