I do a lot of this sort of thing for my work (establish naming conventions)
Some things to consider is sort order. If you want all new planes to show in the same spot on lists you should Prefix them. (i.e. AAA-Fw190-A6) if you want them to sort in the nomenclature you should suffix them (i.e. Fw190-A6-AAA).
Remember that some of the new plane installations pre-AAAui sort the lists alphabetically before they find and remove duplicates. Also remember you may be flying on-line with people that are using the original Oleg nomenclature. Finally some programs (and possible some things in the coding of IL2) do not react to spaces, asterisks, brackets, etc. very well so you may want to stay away from those types)
Me I'm a nomenclature guy. I prefer looking for the Fw190s in the Fw190 areas so I'd vote for suffix. I'd like to see
Fw-190A-5
Fw190A-5_aaa
Fw-190A-6
Fw190A-6_aaa
Fw-190A-7
Fw190A-7_aaa
Fw-190A-8
Fw190A-8_aaa
Fw-190A-9
Fw190A-9_aaa
