Yes most people use Mach3/4 and the G540 with the Taig mills. That said, grbl and their various g-code sender programs are quite popular as well. My favorite is GRBL-HAL and IOsender.
Not all grbl versions are the same. Many have short comings when it comes to using them with CNC as their roots are in the 3D printer space. They are getting better though and is an option worth looking at for hobbyists.
You really need to evaluate the grbl software and sender programs to see if they suit your needs.
Mach is a known product with a large user base so support from the user community is good. The same applies to the G540.
Also, the nut on the Taig lead screw is adjustable so you can minimize the backlash, and adjust it if the screw wears.
Cheers
