I use them all the time together.  Back in the DOS 5 days if you didn't do
a /u it would sit there and make the "unformat file" which usually took
longer than the actual format of the drive.  A /q/u made the quick format
even quicker.  I've been using that out of habit under Win9x, maybe it's
no longer needed.
