It is a good idea to plan your actual values while keeping cross-validation, security, and reporting ranges ("range features") in mind (also parent or summary values that would fall at one end of a given range, for example). For example, you may want to base security on excluding, say, all values from 1000 to 1999. Keep in mind, though, that if you use the Character format for your value set, your values and ranges are sorted by characters. So, 001 < 099 < 1 < 100 < 1000 <12 < 120 < 1200, which is different from what you expect if these were really numbers (using a Number format value set).
