Is there any reason why I would not want to set dom0-min-mem to 0

You definitely do not want to set it to 0. If you create a new domU you might run out of memory on dom0 and bad things will happen. Setting dom0-min-mem to about 128M (depends how much things you run on dom0) is good safety net.

Also setting dom0-min-mem should that be done in xend-config.sxp or on the kernel command line?

Using xend-config.sxp is enough.
