You will find every shop to be unique in their own ways and the beauty is, the system allows it. I have worked in small shops, very large shops and medium shops with many, many, many different standards, sometimes across different systems!
Personally, I like to limit my security work, so the standards I have always like was to have ServerPac installations renamed to SYS1 HLQs. When IBM creates a new HLQ, don't have to go through any headache of making sure the security rules are right, unless needed to expand the data set from "protected" system-level data set. As systems have improved, I do my best to run with a limited number of SYSRES volumes and share them across every LPAR (excepts being my Tech environment vs Test/Dev/Prod). User exits, custom LNKLST, APF, etc. can then be placed in LPAR level members and/or datasets where required so that configuration changes can still be made at an LPAR level.
