I use 0H if it is the beginning of a section of code and there might be an odd-length DC in front of it. But I use * when I am jumping around one instruction.
Revealing my age, I got in the habit of using EQU rather than labeled machine instructions because if you are using punched cards and need to insert a new instruction right after the label, you only have to punch one card if you used EQU, but two if you put the label on a machine instruction.
