Best practice for assigning parameters to dimensions?

$

When assigning a parameter to a dimension, I have two options:

 

A.  Rename the dimension.  For example, if I have dimension p1, change its name to, say, "rod_length" and maybe edit its value (50mm).

 

B. Define a new expression named "rod_length" with a length value of 50mm, then assign it to dimension p1.

 

Is one approach consider better than the other?  Approach A seems easier, but B may be a little cleaner and can be done ahead of time.  I'm working on a model in which I'll need to define several dozen parameters and wondering which way to go. Thanks!
