Okay -- let's review the available options that you have not specified:

arp_filter, arp_ignore, proxyarp: ppp interfaces don't use ARP
blacklist: Do you want to blacklist to/from addresses on this interface?
bridge: Clearly not appropriate as ppp devices are not bridges
dhcp: Clearly not appropriate (DHCP isn't used on PPP interfaces)
logmartians and routefilter: I think that these are always appropriate
maclist: L2 (MAC) addresses aren't used on PPP links
required and optional: Is it either?
soureroute: Only hackers use that option
upnp and upnpclient: Do you need either?
wait: Do you need it?
