Thanks to all, summarizing:

1. udev rules: mounts automatically, with pmount can do non-root un-mounting
2. mdev: according to the man page works only at system boot
3. uam: does not require fiddling with udev rules but cannot un-mount

I suppose I'll go with 1.

Next question: will pcmanfm automatically display an icon for the newly
mounted media and delete it once it is unmounted?
