First, since we agree that this is an opinion based issue, we're both 
right!  :)

However, what types of things are you scripting? I try to either make 
everything a non-priv thing, or a readable script that you have to be 
root to run as anyway. That way if someone reads it they can laugh at my 
code and I can challenge them to do better.

I *assume* you do not put passwords and such in your scripts. FWIW, my 
habits are enforced--I work mostly on Solaris boxes that don't even have 
a root user home, except "/".

ciao!
