I know (or think I know) that a mirrorless camera can use either type of polarizer. Is that correct?

Yes.

Is it the linear or circular that is rotated to polarize? I don't recall.

Both do.

Which would do a better job for image quality on a mirrorless camera?

It shouldn't matter as long as they are good quality filters.

Could I rotate a polarizer on a lens that has a bayonet mount lens hood?

Yes - if it has a filter thread as well. Depending on the lens, you may have to remove the hood to use the polariser but you could buy a third party hood to screw into the front of the filter.

Cheers
