With '-b' you get proper logs, daemonization and disconnect from the tty's. Typically on *nix systems, nohup is used when the output from the process (stdout/stderr) is not of interestt. I think one another user mentioned screen which is also another way.
I would highly recommend the '-b' option since there are other couchdb options to check the background process status, you get to follow the couch.log that's output, etc. Try couchdb -h to see the other options.
