The thing I hate about labels is that if I plop another disc on the system
for any reason, like wanting to do maintenance on it, copy it off, recycle
it, and it has a label matching one of the labels on my system (like, the
system previously had Linux on it), then it's a surprise which partition it
will try to use.

UUID is probably the best option, but I'm usually lazy and just use
/dev/whathaveyou.
