Assuming that you have matching UID's across the servers (infact even
if you don't) you should use CIFS. With CIFS you will be able to make
use of the unix extensions so files will have the same owner and
permissions on the client as they do on the server (this is where the
matching UIDs comes in). SMB is pretty much depreciated so even if you
can't or won't use the unix extensions, you should still use CIFS.

Sorry, I might try that again since I just realised it is a Windows
server you are talking about mounting. You should still use CIFS, but
you won't get the unix extensions.
I believe you have to mount a share rather than a directory inside a
share (//pc-server/user as opposed to //pc-server/user/smith).
I think there is a PAM module you can use to auto mount things at logon.
