The SN74LVC8T245 is available in an "RHLR" Plastic Quad Flat Pack version with no leads. This package has a thermal pad that should solder to a land on the PCB.
Should this thermal pad be tied to ground or left floating?

David,
Either GND or floating is okay in this case. There is no internal electrical connection to the pad.
