In practice, I find that if the fs is marked as clean and unmounted correctly, a forced fsck (either manually or by setting times/mount counts with tune2fs) _never_ find anything much to bitch about...
... but, you never know.
I personally feel comfortable enough with the forced fsck every so often; what is it, every 20th mount will force an fsck?
