Well if you use the ntfs read only module ( during kernel compilation ) 
then
defaults will do just fine , since there is no write possibility . Not 
to mention
here that especially in 2.4 kernels using the NTFS write module is strongly
discouraged . In 2.6 kernels there is some writing capability but will a 
lot
of limitation , so  IMHO sticking with the safety of the read-only 
module would
be OK .
