Both would be good, along with corresponding pacakgemanager GUI equivalents. In the case of pkg(1) these options would be good for scripting. The first option would be good when adding pkgs ahead of a reboot window. The second option would be useful for layered products to report to the user whether that a reboot is required, and to do things like: pkg install --not-if-reboot-reqd foo || (pkg install foo && reboot) The packagemanager UI extensions are primarily about making sure that the user knows that a reboot will be required.
