For the most part here at Cisco, we have no guarrantee that setting a switch to root will stop another switch from coming up as root. However, we set all our roots/sec roots by issuing the set spantree root command. This should lower the prio. of the root/sec root switches to insure that they will always be the roots...
We also use portfast to insure no unwanted switches are plugged into our network and allowed to become live....
