Upper case -- ok.  Doesn't bother me either way.  You have to be real careful 
about using lower case in macro operands, though.

8 character labels -- There are a lot of labels in IBM macros that are longer 
than 8 characters.  For myself, I like longer labels.  I find it easier to read 
and 
understand.

Register equates -- I find a lot less value in them now that the assembler will 
tell you about all the places where a register was used, regardless of the 
equates.
