Wouldn't it depend on whether the DOI is presented as actionable
(i.e. with "http://dx.doi.org/10.1228/0103000001002") or not (i.e.
doi:10.1228/0103000001002 ) ? There's also a question of purpose. If the
purpose in the MARC record is for the user to click on it to locate the
material, then an 856 would be appropriate. If the DOI is being used as
an identifier and you don't intend for the user to go directly to the
site the DOI resolves to, then it would be an 024. And I can see no
reason why you couldn't have both (although it shouldn't be considered
necessary to have both):
024 $a doi:10.1228/0103000001002 $2: doi
856 $u http://dx.doi.org/10.1228/0103000001002
