To answer specifically: -- A module added to LPA is never automatically deleted. -- A module added by LOAD with GLOBAL=YES always has a defined circumstance at which point it is deleted (it could be task termination, it could be address space termination).
So we highly recommend using dynamic LPA rather than LOAD with GLOBAL=YES, both for the diagnostic reasons that Jim Mulder mentioned and for 'safety' or perhaps we'd say 'integrity' if your address space could ever terminate, assuming that you have no 100% way of ensuring that no code is executing within the module at the time of the termination.
