disk/by-id is good to use when you want an immutable reference to the 
exact hardware.  Useful for reference with drive partitioning software 
(fdisk), bootloader software, etc.

Tis the kind of thing you learn when you accidentally clone a drive the 
wrong way because a boot cd flipped sda/sdb on you.  Not that I ever did 
such (that anyone can prove, in any case.)
