Sudo is good, if there are some services, that need access to few root privileges. For example, you can configure nagios to restart some service, if it breaks. Generally it's better than allow nagios run particular commands as superuser, then to have entire nagios started as root.
One of main reasons, why Unixes are so secure is because services get as little privileges as possible. Sudo is really helpful with that.
