In most cases mkinitrd does the right thing when you "make install" the kernel, and if you are doing something in the build so complex that it needs options, you really should understand the options and be sure you're doing what you want. Generally this involves preloading a module or two, and if you need it every time you probably should have built it in, anyway.
