I personally feel service names are better. I can better relate when I see pptp, http or ftp instead of 1723, 80 or 21. Again this is dependent on personal preference and is really inconsequential. I feel it is important that any product/software does not change its behavior once it gets entrenched in the market. Moreover it is yet another option as Henning correctly said.
