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.
