If the drive does not support NCQ than there's really no benefit of
setting AHCI. Neither option does any harm, just a little more work
installing in ahci mode.
Am I right in thinking that AHCI would allow upgrading to an NCQ HD down
the road without reinstalling Windows?

Well if you are changing drives, you will have to install windows on it
right? :) As far as adding a new drive for storage (non-boot), it does not
matter if you have enabled AHCI or not on the boot drive. The pain in the
ass is installing windows on an AHCI enabled boot drive.
