Ricardo is right, although that sort of goes without saying. In general, the fact that the notes are on the same string shouldn't really matter. If you're playing a picado line, you always alternate i-m-i-m, if you're playing a tremolo then you do that (i-a-m-i i-a-m-i or classical a-m-i a-m-i), and if it's a pulgar line then you play with the thumb. All of these are legitimate, depending on the particular piece or falseta. Some are clearly easier than others, and each gives a different sound. 90% of the time, if you're on a treble string, it'll be picado. Tremolo is like porn, you know it when you see it. Pulgar can be used on treble strings but they'll tell you when you're supposed to do that. Actually, before I post this, I should revise that. I thought with your second option you meant tremolo. Actually it sounds like "if I have a bunch of notes on the B string, play them all with the m finger." That never happens. Ever. That would be really awkward. Don't do that!
