Best Practice Database Owner 'sa' SQL Server 2005

I known in SQL Server 2000 it's MS best practice to create database owner as
'sa'.
Is this still the case using SQL Server 2005?
I prefer to have sa as owner of the databases. That way, I have a known SID for the owner, and that
sid exists on any SQL Server I chose to restore that database.

Ditto. And the SA login should be disabled, even if you aren't running in
Windows Authentication mode.
