The --record is for making a list of installed files. You don't need it if you don't use record.txt anywhere.
As for --single-version-externally-managed, that's unrelated to your setup_requires pain - you probably already have the eggs around, so they aren't redownloaded. What --single-version-externally-managed does is force the package to install in non-egg form (as distutils would). That also means only setup.py that uses setuptools will have the --single-version-externally-managed option available.
