I was always taught:
LABEL EQU *

LABEL DS 0H
I use that way. This keeps it standardized throughout the program as not to

the next person that does maintenance.
The second biggest problem with EQU * (after the possible branch issues) is
that if you use TEST (whether for TSO or z/XDC), no SYM card is generated
for an EQU, but one is for a DS/DC 0H. This continues today with ADATA.
