I use automount with a udev-fired script which generates automount
maps based upon the usb (or firewire) device's label.
For instance, my backup drive is labeled rsnapshot_backup. When I plug
it in, an automount map is created for /media/auto/rsnapshot_backup/.
When unplugged, the map and mount directory is removed.
My script still has some rough edges, It contains a fair amount of
crockery to deal with devices which generate multiple add events, such
as my ipod.
It's fairly short so I'll attach a copy to this posting.
