UUID for the filesystem won't change. The /dev/sdXZ entries aren't the UUIDs. If you really wanted to get in deep you could get uDev to create a special /dev entry when the device is plugged in... Or just use the uuid and fstab. :-)
There is no UUID for the device.
/dev/disk/by_uuid only contains entries for the 'fixed' disk.
If I use /dev/sdb1 and install another USB device that could change apparently!
