The only Rule is that you will definitely find that there are exceptions to almost every rule. I ran into a guy that wanted TCPIP data sets to have a HLQ of SYS3. I thought it was "less smart" <VBG>.. but it made him happy and stopped his incessant tirades on the subject. As long as I know where things are and people are mucking with stuff on the res pack.. I am pretty chill. I prefer to have things in as few places rather than as many places as possible... less to remember when trying to remember things in the middle of the night.
As long as the rules/conventions are somewhat consistent within your shop.. that is certainly a good place to start. Just make sure that you don't shoot yourself in the foot on your way to "being like everyone else". Migrating to new conventions can have all sorts of unintended consequences.
