Hello Chad

If you want to do that, create the Mac address in PacketFence, register it and 
assign a role.

For you side question, 802.1x is preferred because it’s the most secure but not 
all devices supports it and you need to push a config to them so they use the 
proper 802.1x authentication (EAP PEAP vs EAP TLS) 

Thanks,
