Customer returns of type 'store credit' and BillingAccount vs FinAccount

When a customer return of type "store credit" is approved, OFBiz  
creates a new Billing Account and 'stores' the credit in a payment  
associated to the billing account.
I'm wondering if we should use a FinAccount instead of a billing  
account for this.

Ideally yes, we should use a FinAccount and not a BillingAccount for  
this. If memory serves the only reason BillingAccount was used (kind  
of a hack really) was that early code for it was developed before the  
current FinAccount fanciness and maturity existed.
