I would set it up as:

# set all files/directories to webadmin group
chgrp -R webadmin /var/www/html

# change all files to 664
find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod 664 "{}" \;

# set GID bit on directories so that files newly created are
modifiable by webadmin
# group members
find /var/www/html -type d -exec chmod 2775 "{}" \;

Any other/better suggestions?
