I don't know enough about the topic to know what's "best," however what 
I would like to add to the conversation is that it would be nice if we 
did it the same way that windows and linux do it, because otherwise you 
end up with messages like these:

GEOM: ad0s2: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s).
GEOM: ad0s3: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s).

when you use a windows or linux tool to partition your disk before 
installing FreeBSD. I have tried various combinations of tools and 
methods of slicing the disk and never found a way to avoid error 
messages one way or another, so I just ignore them now.

If there is truly no reason to do it one way or the other, can we please 
just do it the way that everyone else does it?
