[APBeta] GMT offsets for sites in AP 2.0

I'm setting up my batch of "Usual" observing sites an AP2. I opened
AP 1.6.1 and put its Resources dialog next to the AP 2 version, and
I'm copying things by hand.
One thing I'm noticing off the bat is that AP 2 chose a GMT offset of
-7 hours for my site (San Francisco). I chose this site from AP's
built-in database. It seems to remain at -7 regardless of whether or
not I select DST rules for the site.
Over in AP 1.x, all of my local observing sites use a GMT offset of -8
hours (correct for my location, ignoring DST entirely).
Which is correct? Should I be using USA DST rules with a GMT offset
of -7 or -8 in AP2.0?
Thanks.
