I don't know what you mean by a disk label.

There is another method of disk naming, I think it gained popularity
between /dev/sda and UUID, that was something like LABEL=swap or
LABEL=root.

That's a property of the filesystem, not the disk or partition. See tune2fs/mke2fs -L.

As for building on bare metal, as it stands, during installation, the
RedHat way is you make, for example, a /boot, / and swap, then make the
same partitions on drive 2 (for a RAID-1).

The system disk must be partitioned because you need a boot loader, which means you're already going to be taking over some space on cylinder 0, so the arguments in favor of raw disks have already gone out the window.

I'm only talking about data volumes here.
