NFS vs CIFS. Once setup properly you are less likely to run into permissions issues with NFS. The squash root bit means that everything will get written with root.root on the NAS which equates to anyone in the admin group of the NAS if connecting from a Windows PC to the NAS via Samba. Arguably and I say that advisably NFS is quicker. Connecting from pCP by CIFS is equally doable but depending upon how you have set up users and groups on the NAS you can end up with situations where the Pi can read the files but not modify or write to the folder. You need this ability to create playlists that withstand a reboot for example. My 2p would be if you have everything working correctly with NFS then stick with it but check that your LMS can write to the playlist folder at an early stage.
