Well, Red Hat strongly suggests not to use whole disks as PVs.
Using whole disks increases the risk of an external application overwriting the data under some rare circumstances.
Here's an example of this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=154841
Even though most of those problems have already been patched and fixed in latest RHEL releases, Red Hat still discourages that practice for production/critical systems.
Using partitions of type 8e is the preferred method.
