To have a better control, we always use tables for holding counters. Depending upon the requirement, either one table to hold different counters or multiple tables, sometime in master tables as well.

This does not any additional coding, the trigger in which you fetch from sequence you select from table. To keep it synchronized with the transaction, we make counter table block

It is not possible to avoid sequence number loss . If a user requests a sequence number, then ultimately rolls back that transaction,
that sequence number is lost .

However you can catch such lost sequence numbers programatically and reuse then.
that would require a bit of extra coding.
