@reboot is enough.

If you notice some problems in the long run, you can add a periodic
restart time as well, although it should not be necessary.

Our tickets are set to expire in 10 hours I think and it is most
probable that nothing will stop working within that period of time,
so a re-check script that runs every 8 hours or so would be
reasonable. (Again, only if you notice that something is getting
out of order from time to time).
