Jut to argue with everyone else - don't grant yourself, or any user, permissions that they don't need if this database is going to be used for anything important. I never grant any user off localhost access to anything. That forces users, and software, to be on the local machine to run but avoids a lot of security issues like traffic sniffing. I suggest building a front-end program that speaks XML-RPC and uses SSL and decent authentication if you need to have third-party access to your data from other machines. Only grant remote access to the queries that are safe to give remote access. Never give raw access.
