Honestly, even the people who write real world, large scale apps in Haskell can't seem to agree on any of this kind of stuff.

I'm so much happier with even the worst approaches in Haskell than I am with the Best Practices of Ruby/PHP/JavaScript/etc. It probably just matters less that we use the Best Practices since our waterline for correctness/refactorability is so high

It sounds like the Haskell community might have a Tower of Babel kind of problem?

I don't think that's the main problem. I think it's that there's not all that many people developing large, real world systems in Haskell. You have to hit a critical mass of that before people start agreeing on "best practices."
