If it wasn't entirely clear from other posts, Grub can also use those same UUIDs for its 'linux', 'linuxrd' and 'root' options. I'm not sure off the top of my head if it supports labels. I've always used the UUIDs because every partition is guaranteed to have one even if they read a bit awkward. It's also not likely to change as the years go by as opposed to labels.
