Hey,

since you've asked about ISC recommendations and good practice,
we prefer to use the current DNS terminology as defined in RFC 8499[1]
that says:

> Although early DNS RFCs such as [RFC1996] referred to this as a "master",
> the current common usage has shifted to "primary".

and

> Although early DNS RFCs such as [RFC1996] referred to this as a "slave",
> the current common usage has shifted to calling it a "secondary".

The configuration and documentation in BIND 9 has also shifted to use
the up-to-date terminology, so speaking of the best practice, I would
recommend using the current naming of the server roles and current
naming of the configuration options.
