lugnet.cad.dat gets my vote.
If I'm in a mood to see other's models,  I'd like a one-stop
place to go.  Conversely, lugnet.cad.dat will get left off
on my PalmPC's download list, allowing me to use the ram
for more lugnet.cad related messages.

Here are my current thoughts on attributes of a lugnet.cad.dat group:

The server...

1)  ...should reject an article addressed to lugnet.cad.dat which does not
    contain LDraw .DAT data.

2)  ...should reject an article containing LDraw .DAT data which is
    addressed to one or more groups other than lugnet.cad.dat.

    Corollary: .DAT files cannot be cross-posted to lugnet.cad.dat and
    another group.

3)  ...should reject an article if the Followup-To field contains
    lugnet.cad.dat (because it's a data-content group, not a disucssion
    group).

4)  ...should transparently set the Followup-To to lugnet.cad (default)
    if no Followup-To is given.

(...) Oops -- one mod to that -- it should *require* .DAT data in lugnet.cad.dat, but not deny it in lugnet.cad -- it should *allow* .DAT data in lugnet.cad. Reason: Because some .DAT files won't be models -- they'll be works in progress wanting (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
