That's more of a political question than a technical question. I prefer
VBM, but keep in mind that you can't mix RECFM within concatenations. As a
practical matter, that means that whatever choice you make for SYSEXEC and
SYSPROC will affect what you do for everything else.
ALTLIB can ameliorate the concatenation issue, but not eliminate
it.

Some shops only support 80 column displays; I consider them to be
Luddites.
I find 73 columns to be restrictive. YMMV.
