The names of the pfb files are vendor names in both cases. So, using
hlhi8a.pfb won't work.

The difference are the names that are seen on the TeX level, i.e. the map
files differ in the names for the tfm files. teTeX shipps with metrics
and map files for the old and new conventions. This means that you can
process old and new documents and macro packages, e.g. hlhr8y (Karl
Berry name) and lbr (Y&Y name) can both be used to access LucidaBright
in TeXnANSIEncoding.

To summarize: you should always use the vendor names (in lowercase) for
the pfb files. Use the 4 map files that I have mentioned if you want to
be safe. If you know for sure that you are not using old macro packages,
you can omit lucidabr-o.map / lumath-o.map.
