The best solution imho is to provide our users with all possible scenario's.
In our current installation guide, this is almost impossible due to limited
size (we can't allow the current installation guide to grow further).
However, we're working on a Gentoo Handbook in which it should be possible to
provide our users with several implementations.
Kinda like
2. Partitioning
2.1 Partitioning with fdisk
2.2 Partitioning with cfdisk
2.3 Partitioning with parted
Using this scheme, no tool is favoured above the other (except when you say
that "fdisk" is listed before "cfdisk" -- bad luck :)
Wkr,
