I concur.  We use VxFS for all filesystems other than boot/root including 
/usr/openv  

VxFS is a journaled filesystem so has a lot of benefits over ufs which isn't 
journaled.  I'd always recommend using it where possible but as noted it isn't 
required.

It's fine if you have it, but it's not required.

/usr/openv has no special requirement.  VxFS has some general advantages over 
UFS in some cases, but I can't think of anything that applies specifically to 
/usr/openv.

If you want VxFS, feel free to use VxFS.
