I haven't looked at those images you posted yet, but I'll respond to them.

That's my feeling too.  Mounting by label has some of the same problems as
mounting by UUID - the identification is tied to a filesystem, rather than
an actual partition, but that's both good and bad - but the label should be
something you can remember, whereas there aren't many people who can
memorize UUIDs!
