I am not an expert at all in this but I can say I've done it both ways as you say. I've first HDR merged the bracketed shots using an outside program and then used Hugin to stitch the pano. More recently in one similar to yours in number of shots and homemade panohead I threw all the images into Hugin using a manual process that split the control point matching into two categories. I control point matched the bracketed image trios within each trio. So for example for the normal exposure image A the corresponding -A and +A exposure images had control points matching only to image A. The second matching category matched control points amongst all the normal exposure images. The matching was done manually in all cases as I found the automatic feature produced way to many points that utterly swamped the calculations. I am sure there are all sorts of Hugin parameters to automate or avoid much of this method or to create the pano as should be done in a totally different fashion. The result of the last mentioned method was very good.
