They'll work if you really don't want anybody but the owner poking
through the directories.

A user's home directory should have the user as the user and the group
anyway so there may not be any difference between rwxrwx--- and
rwx------. I like granting user / group rights because it gives me more
flexibility down the road (say I want to grant a group of people access
to a certain folder)
