re: Isn't it just easier to use sda sdb as always. I get into more trouble with UUID's
Well that's assuming that they won't change. Say those drives are on two separate controllers e.g. a sata, and a scsi drive. Now you add a PATA drive - your sd{} labelling may change possibly resulting in a unbootable system until you get a boot disk and manually update the fstab.
