Housekeeping / equipment pad - floor or analytical slab (non-structural design)

I'm an HVAC engineer and want to put a concrete housekeeping pad over an existing concrete floor. I'm not actually analyzing any structural loads. This is just to show the contractor where and what size of pad to install. A special detail of that would be part of the structural sheets (not me). 

 

My first thought was to use a concrete architectural floor and have it elevated the height I wanted. But then I saw videos indicating the Structural slab could be used. (that is controlled under the analytical model category). Since I don't analyze, I think the floor is better. Or am I missing some big advantage by just using a dumb concrete floor? There also is a structural floor as opposed to the architectural. But again, for my purpose it just has to be "there" and not do anything smart.

If you don't need the geometry to have any intelligence, then use whatever you like.

For this project I only have 2 pads.... so i didn't plan to schedule them and just label them in place. But do people schedule equipment pads for larger projects and if so would the "Architectural Floor" still work as well as the others? 

 

Edit: I just use a floor for now since i don't schedule them or use other "Information" BIM features. If I came across a neat way to do smarter things, I may change my ways. 

 

I'm probably over-thinking this, but if there are neat ideas to do pads better, I like to try that.

Create a floor type, name it equipment pad, and use it.
