 The most effective use of the CNAME is when you have a single IP address
 that has several names associated with it - by changing the canonical
 name you then update all of the aliases.

 If you only have one or two names associated with an address, than its
 probably easier in the long run to just use A records - then you won't
 run into the issue of CNAME restrictions (or have to train someone about
 it) and other issues.
