Very easy to understand......any way that requires entering the swaps into /etc/fstab therefore means that if any drive and it's contained swap fails the reboot can fail (plus the overhead of all those uuid numbers in fstab). My way means that as the swaps don't get loaded unless the drive is alive the reboot has more resilience.
If you have RAID1 for swap, you only need a single component drive to work for the RAID1 to be able to start. It also means any drive can fail and your swap information still works.
And I don't understand why you're referring to "overhead of all those uuid numbers in fstab". You're worried about 10-20 bytes extra in fstab???
