[PCB_FORUM] Cadence set-up question

Good Day everyone,
            I'm an ex-cadence user that has been using Expedition for the past 
4 years.  My company has now bought a seat of Allegro(16.2 PCB Design HDL L 
with Design Entry HDL)  and I'm in the process of setting up the file structure 
and library.  This isn't my area of expertise so I was hoping I can get some 
expert advice from those that have gone through this process before.  I'm to 
the point where I need to start creating library parts.  My question is what is 
the standard naming convention used for footprint land patterns?  Some places I 
worked used the RLP numbers and some have used Jedec.  I understand there's no 
right or wrong way but I'm just interested in what other folks are doing and 
why.  This is the first time I've had to set-up any PCB system and man, there 
are a lot of details to hammer out.  If anyone has some valuable does and 
don'ts they would like to share I'd love to hear them- off line of course.  
Thanks!  -Dennis
