Matter of style.  DOS doesn't care.

And reboot every time you want to switch?  Still doesn't sound all that
professional.

Try something like:

---autoexec.bat---
...
set PATH=whatever
set BASE_PATH=%PATH%
---borland.bat---
set DJGPP=
set PATH=c:\borland\bin;%BASE_PATH%
---djgpp.bat---
set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env
set PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;%BASE_PATH%

And run djgpp.bat and borland.bat as appropriate.
