If you mean window managers, the answer is "none" as long as you 
won't be using any external players or running any other programs 
on the box.  If you are using external players then running without 
a window manager will likely cause you some grief with keyboard 
focus problems (i.e. the mplayer output is on top but the 
keystrokes are still going to myth).

Given that ratpoison is so light-weight you're probably well off to 
use it.
