Hmm, I used a sample size of 8 and it looks like a landslide for 'itemize'. 

>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'enumerate'
>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'itemize'
>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'itemize'
>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'itemize'
>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'itemize'
>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'itemize'
>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'itemize'
>>> choice(['enumerate', 'itemize'])
'enumerate'

None of the choices in the PEP jump out as being ideal. Perhaps itemize is a 
better choice simply because it is shorter.  Advantages?
 - It takes up less space in a line of code.
 - It is easier to type. 

+0 for itemize
