Nopes - stick to using the mount command.  Depending on the filesystem 
you specify (with the -t option), it will call the relevant mount 
command itself (eg. mount_smbfs, mount_nfs).

You don't need it.

Although installing samba will give you smbclient and a load of other 
things, if you don't need them I wouldn't install it.  From what you've 
previously explained, everything can be done with the (already supplied) 
mount command.
