I'm not Al, and I don't play him on TV, but I'm going to chime in here and say that labeling the breakers doesn't seem very helpful to me. It's the position on the breaker panel that determines what device gets the power, and any given breaker is easily moved from one slot to another regardless of how it's labeled. If you pull two breakers, the labels don't help you put them back in the same place they came from, and you can thus lose track of which breaker slot is associated with what circuit.
I updated our electrical tracking spreadsheet this year to produce a worksheet full of wire and component labels that we printed on sticker paper and cut out. One part of the sheet is sized to fit in the recessed line between the rows of breakers, and it labels each of the twelve breaker slots. One slot's label is 0.6" wide and 0.25" high, enough for a short line of easily-read text or two lines of tiny but still readable letters.
