I am still looking for advice as to what panels the draw quality is best suited for.

When I choose material
temper I look for how fast it work hardens.
And can I readily shop-anneal critical areas, quickly.
By these simple criteria I can avoid trying to
harden up selected full-
soft (T-0) panel areas, and instead focus only to soften my work-hardened areas.
This example of yours is an annealed
mild steel material, so I would use it in heavily-worked areas, where its strength would arrive to useful levels over 80-90% of the part area, whether by pressing, flow-forming or other hammering methods, or by wheeling, beadrolling, roll-forming .... or by cold-drawing.
The part below is 20ga (.041) mild steel CRS but a bit softer than the cheaper more widely-available flavor of harder temper. (I have zero specifics on material for you, as this sheetl is from the last remnants of a pile I bought from another metalman.)

Draw quality temper is another grade or two softer, and is unnecessary
for the way my shop makes this part.
These parts are right off the Air PowHammer, with no other planishing done.
