sp vs. dp is generally fine. In current builds they are the same thing. In the future, the sp value will change based on the user's font size preference. (Actually you can write an app today that lets you poke the font size scaling factor, though the standard UI in the platform generally doesn't deal with this well.) If you have a dimension that makes sense to grow and shrink a bit depending on whether the user wants larger or smaller fonts, feel free to use sp. (Though if you do, you might want to use DevTools to adjust the font size to make sure what you are doing gives a sane result.)
