more a matter of personal preference than anything else - so do whatever
works for you (and your team). I like using the host and associated
wildcard mask - it helps me remember what the actual mask for the network
should be when I'm troubleshooting. And, if for some reason I change the
host address (within the subnet), the network statement is still valid.
