There is no convention about how aliases are named. You should only give your aliases a unique name so you don't get naming conflicts with other modules providing the same service. I use the FQCN in my project as well, because it avoids any conflicts 100% and it is very clear which class you are requesting from the service manager.

In the end it all comes down to personal taste, but I'd try to confirm yourself mostly to a single naming strategy and not mix up several tastes.
