Basically Yes!

    Although I never use the autonuke.. (just me) I Always go with one 
of the DOD specs and MANY passes. I like to make sure the drives are 
unrecoverable. Even on my own home machines I do this... Just seems to 
work better when installing a new OS... (again, just my personal 
observations)
