Against a knife or any other contact weapon, I am usually going to want separation providing I'm alone. If they are pursuing which is often the case, I will once again very likely be firing while in movement.
There are no absolutes however as there are many variables to consider. The best way to hash these things out is through Force on Force training incorporating close-quarter scenarios with a full spectrum of possible modes of attack.

I have done FoF with both simunitions and fake knives. That was where I leaned the "move, then shoot" and "shoot, then move" thing. At least in the scenarios we worked on, those seemed to work better than "shooting and moving" simultaneously. That's been 10 years ago. "Good tactics" may have changed since then. ETA - I've taken other tactical training courses since then, just not with simunitions.
