user approval control question

Hi - In Local Security there is this entry:
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in the Admin Approval Mode.
There are 3 options:
No Prompt
Prompt for Credentials
Prompt for Consent
I selected No Prompt, but am wondering if I should have Prompt for Credentials selected instead.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Joe

No prompt
Prompt for credentials (this setting requires user name and password input before an application or task will run as elevated)
Prompt for consent (this is the default setting for administrators only, this setting is available for administrators only)

IC - not a bad idea to prompt for credentials until I can get Zone Alarm and SpyBot Installed.
