The preference should always be to have proper exit codes. I don't know how much sleeps the various distros allow you to implement in the rc scripts. Curious if there are guidelines for it.
Any init script should accomodate to LSB specificacions: http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generi...
This is true for Debian, RedHat or whatever *nix distro.
