One very nice part about link exchanges is you should be able to specify your anchor text. Avoid giving up the decision to the other site because they could just always use your domain name which is not so bad but not the best choice, necessarily. Having a brief title doesn't bring up any space issues and makes it easy for the others to link to your site.
