personally, i use add timer when setting up recording rules. the amount of control that tvheadend gives me is perfect for series recordings, both once a week shows or a once a day shows are manageable with the options that are provided.

viewing habits and station programming dictate how i set my timers up. shows on a large network i use if series number differs, i use if description differs for shows on PBS like nova, frontline and nature, that reoccur more than once a week. the wife loves Dr phil and i have a rule set for him to record all episodes, so she can get a duplicate recording in case our local station breaks in an broadcasts real news over her drama.

hope that helps
