I just use UTC for anything technical. Specific timezones should only be used by clients, and every client I know about can convert from UTC to their local timezone. Honestly, I wish we'd do this as a matter of public policy, everything is denominated in UTC, and you can use whatever local conversion you choose to display the time.

DST is only marginally useful for things like schools and offices, and even then it has pretty limited utility.
