Same general practices for forward dns apply to reverse as well - you should have a secondary on a separate netblock/provider/connection from the master nameserver.

Also depends on what's going to be on the netblocks your hosting rdns for.  If its a bunch of mail servers, rdns is kinda important from an anti-abuse perspective.  Same with dynamic clients.

BIND

No difference between a forward and reverse zone to BIND.  Both work 
well...
