I'm not saying you shouldn't use Xprivacy or other root-enabled apps, though, as some are very useful and it may be the only way to get Google to build in some of those features eventually, but just be aware of the trade-off you're making.

Why would malware be helped by having sudo installed? A privilege escalation attack has no use for it, unless you think there are security holes in sudo. Has there been or do you have reason to believe there are?
I heard these statements before and I'm never sure what to make of it. For a casual user, the possibility to click yes to a sudo dialog is a code path to disaster, but as these things need to be flashed specifically (which is a big hurdle in itself) I'm not sure how big problem it is in practice.
