That depends on your situation.  I first heard of the issue when someone 
reported on IRC that they tried installing SE Linux on an XFS system and it 
used up all their free disk space and made their system virtually unusable as 
a result.

Above is a bug report I filed requesting that 512 bytes be the default.
