When it comes to SEO and URLs thare are no best practice as everyone have diiferent opinions :-).
The root of a site (which is not the /home page) always has / or /language-code - e.g. /nl or /nl-nl - it will not have both. All pages in the tree all have a URL as well - e.g. /home - on website settings you can set that /home should redirect to / (or /nl or /nl-nl depending on your settings)
It works like this for a reason - e.g. if you change order of pages in the tree, if you deactivate /home then the /home-other will become default etc. etc.
You can fiddle with the settings and see the result using ?showurlindex=true on e.g. the frontpage.
If you have a setup with more websites and those websites have languages and you have different hostnames on either website or language level, things become more complicated. You can configure DW to either use a combined "UrlIndex" based on the websites - and hence by host.
