LF makes the most sense, but they're all fine for text files. The issue is that CSV isn't text.

Last time I had to handle CSV files in bash, I converted them internally to RS and FS.

Line feed resetting position really makes no sense. It should just continue text from where the cursor was but on next line. Like staircase. You need CR to go back to start.
