A few questions to help address the bytes vs units notion: 1) What do FreeBSD, Linux, and Illumos do? OpenBSD/Dragonfly/others? 2) How would either strategy interact with ZFS? Long term, NetBSD needs to get 1st-class ZFS support, and what ZFS needs/wants is an interesting issue for that goal, and a clue to others' experiences regardless.
