Word to the wise...
Don't use the international version of the SGSIII ROOT METHOD.. Some have already tried and they haven't bricked but they are all messed up.
I hope they made a Nandroid backup!
****Remember to always backup***********
Reasons I rooted my current phone:
1. Screen shots
2. Remove or Freeze Bloat
3. Tether (occasionally)
I have not tried ROMS as this is my business phone and I am hesitant to mess around with ROMing because I rely on my emails (not sure how changing roms affects the email program?).
ICS lets you take screenshots, and disable bloatware. So that leaves tethering as an unknown. Also, there are tweaks that I would like to try that necessitates rooting. With that said, I figure I will root my phone anyway. Will you be rooting and why?
Probably some of the smartest characters I've seen typed on here in a long timeBeing my first venture into the Android world after 7 years of BlackBerry usage, I'm going to just enjoy and learn the S3 in stock form for a while, but will be reading from the experts here and learning the hows of rooting as well as the capabilities it will bring me - so that down the road a bit I can make an intelligent decision.
Personally, I would root it according to the instructions you already have, making sure you use TB to back up. However, you can accomplish all three of those things without rooting if you really want to. ICS takes care of 1 and 2 and you can download FoxFi to take care of the tethering. It is free to download from the Play Store.

Too many inexperienced users dive into rooting and hacking after doing very little research and before they know it they are lost, caught in the middle of rooting the device and/or bricked and then they stop and ask questions...

Absolutely, 100% agree. Regardless of your confidence level, you must always, always, always read. Learn as much about the process as possible, and for the love of God Almighty--HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY. If you screw up X, know how to do Y. If you do Z, know you have a backup ready to roll.
While it may be exhilarating to just "go for it," it's even more exhilarating when you know what you're doing and boot up without complications .

You guys are making it hard for me not to root this baby. But ummm, I dont know why I would root.
All I really know is that you can...
-change the launcher
-install themes
-tether
-clock the phone?
Everything except for clocking can be done without rooting right?
And is there something like installous for jailbroken idevices when you root? Makes everything in the appstore free. Dont really download pirate apps but sometimes its necessary. Lol
