PCB Artist 1.3.3 Parts Lib

Hi all,
I am in the process of creating a PCB Artist Parts Lib for Parallax products. As of this posting I have 3 PBasic interpreter chips almost done (Pbasic 2, PBasic 2e, and PBasic 2sx) but wanted to ask you all about nets before I get carried away with VSS and VDD.
Should I have the net labled as VSS or gnd or ground or 0? I prefer gnd or VSS.
Should I have VDD labled as VDD, +5V, or 5V
the same with P0-P15 and recomendations on any casing, weather I should use all caps or no caps as I know this may hinder how automatic routing is performed and some of you may have different preferances for net naming.
I will give this thread an hour or two before I just continue on my own, and I will edit this first post as I make additions and will add an attachment , I can have all the stamps done , all their package styles, in a few hours and will also be adding the propeller in all its package styles.
I will also be adding this on my website but not till it is finished.
Just to note, to keep things simple I am making the schematic symbols pin configuration the same as the PCB Symbol so all pins will be visible.
*edit* Lib is done as far as I would like it, if anyone wants any parts added, just ask. Most parts that come in pdip and soic/qfn/ssop are as a single component just click the style you want when selecting the part. File ParallaxLibraryForAdvancedPCB-V0.2 is the most current. You should unzip these to a folder and point to its location in PCB Artist. It's not 100% complete with all the parallax products, just most of the chips. NOTE that the resonators pad layout is not the one it should be, make adjustments as you need.

btw, I cant seem to find a pad for the 20 Mhz resonator so I created a 6 pin smt footprint with both sides of the pads touching, hope it dont mess up any design rule checks.
I will be adding an update by midnight tonight, I hope, I am getting the DIPs worked out right now. Hopefully the prop will be in by then too. I will need someone to verify my pad layouts, I had to cheat since PCB Artist dont have a layout for the resonator, which according to the docs is a ZTTCV pad layout, I just went by the dimentions of that and overlapped the pins in an SOIC 6 pin package.
