When you install Ubuntu, have it install Grub (that is actually the
default). It will automatically add your other OSes. Specific to
Ubuntu, I have not had any trouble with it's installation of Grub (in
contrast to Debian, Fedora, and others who's Grub installations I
always need to go back and fix).
In any case, reinstalling or fixing grub is not a problem so long as
your machine can boot from a LiveCD.
