GoDaddy doesnt do any 301s. Domain masking/forwarding at GD will be with a 302.

>302 is easier

The 301 vs 302 issue should not be decided by level of convenience, but by purpose and/or intent. There are fundamental differences between a 301 and a 302 and they should be used correctly.

[w3.org...]

10.3.2 301 Moved Permanently

The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI

10.3.3 302 Found

The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.

Moniker is one registrar that employs 301s with domain forwarding. There may be others that do this as well, but I am not aware of them.
