UUID is the preferred method for automating such stuff[1], because they 
are (for all practical purposes) unique, so it ensures there won't be 
conflicts even when swapping drives between systems.

Labels are more convenient for humans, provided that some care is taken 
to avoid conflicts as needed.

[1] Whatever automounter is used by LXDE it will mount removable storage 
under /media/<username>/<label> if the partition has one. This is much
friendlier than using UUID.

Kind regards,
Andrei
