You should already have some links in /dev/serial/ right? Why not use
those?
Otherwise you are going to have to use the USB path, but if USB
enumerates them in a different order next time you boot, the paths are
going to be different. You should bug your vendor about putting unique
serial numbers in them, that's the only "real" way to do this correctly,
sorry.
Hope this helps,
