Root guard doesn't really apply unless to the setting of root discussion.
By adding it, you have to know exactly why it's required and that it is
asked for. It's main purpose is not to ensure that you stay root, but to
make sure that others do not become root.

Hi,

Do you guys think that besides the two solutions proposed, would you add
spanning-tree rootguard as well ?
