Only a subset of the netlisters (allegro, eagle, futurenet, mathematica, pcbfwd, spice-sdb, systemc, tango, verilog, vhdl) use the device= attribute. They generally use the attribute in incompatible ways. The standard library symbols reflect this. So, the only advice that really works here is:

1. Understand what your flow needs, go with that.

2. Otherwise, avoid using the device= attribute.
