Contentious point :-) Many, myself included, prefer the highway=service|track|path|unclassified plus designation=whatever.

This way neatly separates out the physical characteristics of the way and its rights, and allows multi-layer rendering such as 
that done on Freemap.

I do admit to using highway=bridleway as well, but purely to "tag for the renderer" and make bridleways appear in a different
colour on the main Mapnik renderer.
