What default do you suggest?
When changing it, how should it be changed?

The old timers here will know the answers.

*I* suggest using the /dev/disk/by-path filename.  (I think RH is /dev/ 
dasd/by-path).

Change it with your favorite text editor in /etc/fstab *and* in /etc/ 
zipl.conf, and don't forget to rerun zipl!
