probably not needed unless it is a fairly obscure cdr, but there is no
harm in having it.

This one can cause big problems with ide cd-rs when using ide-scsi, like
causeing the drive to be detected 8 times. I would recommend leaving it
off unless you find you need it.

There is no reason not to add cdroms to /etc/fstab provided you give the
noauto option so that they are not automatically mounted. If you add:
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
to /etc/fstab, then you can just do mount /mnt/cdrom to mount it instead
of having to specify the device on the mount command line.
My preffered solution though is to have the cdrom mounted using automount,
but this isn't really relevant to the problem.
