Enabling voiceover at login screen is only necessary if you boot to the screen asking for username/password. If you do not use that screen, I.E. you boot directly into your account, then just using command-f5 to turn on voiceover the first time will permanently leave voiceover on each time you boot. However, my personal recomendation is do not boot directly to your account, and there's two main reasons for this. First, booting directly to your account (especially if you have no password) is very dangerous. It allows anyone who gets ahold of your machine to basically do anythin they like to your system, and there will be no checks on what they can do to the machine, since your account has no password. You really need to set a master password (that should be different from your login password) so that root access cannot be granted without additional prompting, this will prevent someone from removing every file on your machine, and causing you to have to reinstall. Secondly, the reason to boot to a login screen will remind you of your account names (every one should have a minimum of two accounts, one with admin access which is used for updating the system, and one that is used for everyday usage, that does not have admin rights). This way, you will not be able to just drop into your machine, and get into areas that could caus trouble if handled incorrectly. You can still perform system-related tasks from your account, you'll just need to enter the name and password of the user who does have admin permissions, but at least that way, no program can just go and do things without you knowing about it first. Folks are a lot less likely to try messing with your machine if they're presented with a login screen than they are if they just get dropped into your desktop without any prompting right out of the box. It's also good to have a second account, just for testing purposes, s with a second account, you can determine if a problem you're having is a result of the system misbehaving, or the or if it's just a result of some local configuration in your account, logging in with another account can answer this kind of a question quickly an easily. Of course, ultimately, the whole security thing is up to you, and you should of course implement what works for you, and what causes you the least amount of hassle, but if you aren't made aware of the issues, then there's no way you can make an informed decision.
Hope this helps.
