I've done both of these. Most of my boxes don't have passwords on the
root account AND don't allow SSH to root, relying on a sudo-enabled
account usually; and it's perfectly possible to also deny password
access to *any* account via SSH. Quite good for security... though it
can create an awkward bootstrap problem if you lose all private keys
that had access.
