It depends on the landform first and then the type of lines to use in autocad. In the landform determine mounds or tiny hills, depressions or valleys, and steep banks . Connect lines of similar height in a mound and depression with loops, in other areas with lines.The level value should be shown at equal intervals by the line. Also use radiating lines to differentiate a depression from a mound. For distance between contour lines you can use a fixed level difference(like you can connect lines with a level difference of 1m) to draw lines. Now in auto cad use splines to draw contour lines.

We at Dimension India(www.dimensionicad.com) uses the following method to plot contour lines in Autocad: First set up a contour style by opening the Contour Style Manager dialog box by
selecting Contour Style Manager from the Terrain drop-down menu in the
main menu. By default, this dialog box opens to the Manage Styles tab. Once you've set the contour style, you're ready to create the contours
themselves. Simply select Create Contours from the Terrain drop-down
menu to open the Create Contours dialog box.The two most important options are the Surface and Contour Style
drop-down lists; they're used to choose the surface from which to
generate the contours, and the style to apply, respectively
