You should always implement all best practices.  Picking and choosing on security
practices often has the same result as not implementing any.

One basic thing to remember is that a geodatabase resides in an RDBMS. It means any valid RDBMS security policies also holds for your geodatabase. That said, there are other tips and things documented in ESRI papers.
