No, nor would it do much good.  Do you expect the RMSD to change much during EM? 
  I usually see an RMSD no greater than 0.2 Ang.

That depends on your definition of "better."  Try both and see which results you 
think are more reliable, otherwise consult some textbook material or literature 
references on the algorithms.

PME is more accurate than cut-off.
