I don't think it matters alot unless it's a large skein.
Smaller skeins don't seem to tangle as much when the center is used. I don't normally wind my skeins into a ball until I've used around half of the skein. Then I do it only because it seems quicker when I'm crocheting if the yarn comes off of the ball instead out of an unruly skein. Always wind the yarn into the ball loosely so you don't stretch the yarn.

No matter what... knots are not fun. The best advice I can give you for knots is do not pull on the yarn alot when trying to remove them.
That way you don't get as frustrated. When I first started crocheting I would pull the yarn too taut and the knots were so tight that I would end up frustrated and cut the yarn. When I became more relaxed about getting knots out I rarely have to cut my yarn anymore.
