You might want to put your new BE on a different ZFS pool to avoid creating snapshots and clones. For a system with lots of non-sparse zones that gets upgraded about every three months or so by using LU on a new BE, all those snapshots and clones get really nasty to deal with.

If, on the other hand, every time you create a new BE using LU you do it on a different ZFS pool than the current live BE, you get a simple clean copy.
