This one's quick, readable and clean. We use a little helper class, that you just pass the SObjectType to and it gives you a map<String, Id> mapping Labels to RecTypeId. Currently switching to using custom Labes in case the name of a Record Type changes (happens a lot unfortunately). | |

You can pull all of the attributes of the record type on any object without any queries or hitting any limits (as describe limits have been removed) this way. If you still wish to use a custom setting, those labels may be stored there. Though that seems redundant as the custom setting is a key-value pair which you don't really need if you only need the label to execute the describe. | |
