How does that help?
Its considered proper convention to use "sudo" on individual commands instead of changing the user to root. With sudo you can water down the ability of a user, eg can't use the shutdown command.
I don't know if you can disable su -, but that would be the plus of this style.
Ubuntu does it by giving root a disabled password. The su command is not disabled exactly, but you cannot use su to become root (unless you already are (eg 'sudo su -' which is kind if redundant).
