"Always store in UTC"
Well, wrong. Suppose that you allow users to have intents like "every Monday at 9am", you need to adapt to DST.
To me the golden rule is:
Depending on your needs you need to pick two. The third can be deducted (in most cases).
Rule of thumb to choose:
Please note that timestamps and UTC dates are equivalent to picking the offset.
Does my explanation make sense?
