The two manga panels were based upon the movie, but I wouldn't say that makes the movie a canon all to itself.

The special is generally considered canon because of those two panels. By including those in the manga Toriyama basically declared the special as part of the series continuity. By the very events of the special they
had to still be in the atmosphere, they could talk and laugh.

17 and 18 are more than 50% machine and have an "infinite energy reactor". To use that as a basis for judging their breathing behavior is broad but it's all we've got.

Official material would disagree with you there.

Plus a few other things that I can't remember where they are. But it's demonstrated through the series, and I think in the Daizenshuu's somewhere as well, that the twins are still mostly organic. Only a very small percentage is machine.
