Is there a 'best practice' approach to quoting vars in such a situation?

That's the best practice: understand how quoting and shell expansion works. Recognize that all variables get exported into the shell's environment, and let the shell do environment substitution.

Rightly or wrongly, I have gained the impression over the years that understanding Unified Field Theory is closer to hand than understanding the shell's ways of handling variables. But I asked the question and now I have my answer. <g>

Thanks,
