In general, partition labels are _good_, but only as long as you don't mix them with partition device names in ambiguous ways. If the /boot partition is labelled "/boot", then *always* mount the partition via this label. Only use the underlying partition device name (e.g. /dev/sda2) when you are sure it is exactly the same partition as the one with the label "/boot". Else you increase the risk that you work on different partitions.
