Amen!

Yes, add_option() with proper namespacing works fine.

Check out my Links Clicker PI, it's got an interface and using the
add_option/update_option methods, with a form to edit the options. I've
been working on cleaning it up and making it so that the interface
elements are 'wrapped' in a class, so the code is 'overlooked' by the
PHP includes. So that they won't slow down loading and won't be left
exposed to a mistaken function call.
