What is your definition of "easier"?
* that you don't need an external program to lookup the relation between
UUID and device?
* that a UUID is longer and harder to remember?
* something else?

Personally I prefer labels for my own systems, but I prefer to manage them
manually. I skip the Ubuntu partitioning tools. I realize that I am not an
"average" user.
