Extra security is certainly a plus. My main reason for wanting to run a read-only root it to avoid wearing out the consumer grade compact flash card that I'm using as my root device (yes, I'm cheap).
I'd suggest, then, using a distro that doesn't update as frequently as Fedora. /sbin is on the root device and you'd need to set it to rw every time one of its programs gets updated. Also, if you're using Fedora, have a separate /boot that's not on that card to make kernel updates easier.
