The helpers should not notice any difference from what I know and have
experienced.

However, maybe your helper tries to use /dev/tty for some reason.
Helpers should not use /dev/tty, but this is the only possible
difference I can estimate between daemon mode and no daemon mode.

Helpers should only use stdin/stdout/stderr (stderr for error logging
only).

Minor note: The RunCache scripts run Squid in no-daemon mode by using
the -N command line flag to Squid. The default is to run in daemon
mode.
