Yes, well, including the "/root" option or not is somewhat a matter of preference, and of what you want to do next. Sometimes including "/root" makes the Explorer load the desired directory tree much faster, especially on a network where it might otherwise show the list of all connected machines.
In summary, I think it is better to use it in some cases, and not to use it in others.
