Best Practice for Primary Group?

[D-ma]

Does anyone know what the recommended best practice is
for assigning users Primary Group in Workgroup Manager?

I’ve been changing them but I’ve heard that I should leave the default “staff” group (Group ID: 20)
and add their user group to the “Other Groups” window.

I’ve heard that:
If I do change this Primary Group as I’ve been doing I could run into problems as Mac’s
LDAP directory system has the same limitation as Active Directory’s spelt out in this article:

What do you do? – have you run into any problems?

A related question:

If I have LDAP accounts, how do I add the “www” group to an LDAP user so that s/he can access files ‘owned’ by the www group on the webserver (specifically updating them where group “www” has write access.)?
