I really like the idea proposed by Kayal. Alternate names in stat blocks allow the best of both worlds with the added bonus of providing additional inspiration for roleplaying

I find this an absolutely brilliant idea. It keeps the history of the game while presenting options that doesn't exactly fit. One might even go as far to say that several versions of the same spell exist in a world, but the manifestation remains different with each variation (Example: Bigby's Crushing Hand may appear different in some way than Zarumon's Crushing Hand).

As long as the distinctions do not become a source of debate over "what happens when...", then having more flavor thorugh damage types is fine by me. I don't find it complicated enough to feel strongly about. I just think that when resistences start to show up, the problem you run into is that smart players QUICKLY figure out that there really isn't anyone immune to sonic damage, so they take the energy substitution feat, make all their damage sonic an voila.
