Pick one, it will not likely matter. Traditionally, certain groups have been reserved for the TTY layer, but unless you are trying to coexist with these sorts of interfaces, it really doesn't matter much. I would avoid the 'f' group, however, because those IOCTLs need to work on all file descriptors and you wouldn't want a collision.
