Personally, I'd like both at the same time, so if someone has a hint on
that, chime in as well.

That gives you predictable hardware addresses, as well as specific
volume addresses (i.e. you can always find the contents of the CD-ROM
versus the CD-burner, or always find the particular disc wherever its
inserted).
