Jim, Hyphenated and apostrophed names are OK i.e. the Recipient Policies will generate those addresses using whatever is present in the the First and Last name fields. However, while an apostrophe is a legal character on the RHS of a recipients SMTP address, I believe that you run the risk of running into an older MTA that will choke on the apostrophe making your user very unhappy. Its really a better idea not to use the apostrophe in a primary SMTP address.
I would recommend leaving the default policy alone, creating a new policy with a higher priority than the default that will make the necessary exclusions and handle special characters. And I wouldn't do any of that until there is a clear company policy on what SMTP addresses users will and won't have. Once you've taken care of all that you will likely find that the recipient policies can handle 99% of your addressing requirements *automatically*. You just need to get involved for the occasional exception like a user name change.
