In my opinion

proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=ONE:10m
inactive=1h max_size=1g;

is clearer and more expansible: you just need to add new keywords.

Furthermore, this week I plan to refactor limit_zone module and
to change syntax of

limit_zone one $binary_remote_addr 10m;
to
limit_conn_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m;

on the analogy of
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=1r/s;
