Does squid needs MRTG for monitoring if I plan to use RRDTools?
No, but for RRDTools you need some software to retreive the values you want to graph. RRDTool only graphs, it does not do the data collection for you. In most cases simple scripting around snmpget or squidclient will give you the values you need to feed into RRDTool.
MRTG is easier in that regard since it automatically (given proper config) collects the values to graph via SNMP.
