cname in the torproject.net domain will be a fine choice.
*.torproject.net and *.torproject.org are both routinely blocked for
residential Internet connections in the UK on the basis that they provide
circumvention of the connection filtering. The snowflake extension itself
doesn't provide circumvention to the user of the extension so there is a
good basis for arguing it shouldn't be blocked (and I've had these
arguments with <large computer security company>'s staff, who maintain
some of the block lists) but I think their stuff doesn't really work on
subdomains or their staff did not configure things with subdomains when
I've made complaints. It's all or nothing.
