management vlan on 3560X

I am configuring a brand new 3560X and according to the manual http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750x_3560x/hardware/quick/guide/3750xgsg.html#wp49930, I am in the Express setup and Cisco recommends that I use vlan 1 as the management vlan. I only have vlan 10 for data and vlan 110 for voice. Should I assign another vlan like 300 for the management vlan? Will it affect anything? Thx

Now let say I have my vlan 300 as my management vlan across my network which has 10 sites. Can I use one subnet for my management vlan for all of the site? Is it the best practice? Thanks

kenboonejr,

"But each location has its own subnet  on those vlans"
That is exactly that I was looking for. So if I understand correctly, all the sites can have the same vlans but different subnets. This will work because the connection facing the WAN will be layer 3. Thanks
That is correct.  What you are doing is building consistency at each location.
