This could always be a catchy part, like where you may be asked to add a
loopback later in the lab....and it happens to falls in the range
covered by the mask.

Wow, is this true? I have always thought it best practice to advertise
the
exact subnet the interface is a part of...??

Can someone please explain the best practice here (in Cisco Lab terms,
of
course)?

I believe the most simple answer is always use 0.0.0.0 unless otherwise
