I'm using autofs for everything I know (included usb known devices).
To me it's cleaner, lighter and it not only automounts, it also auto
unmounts, :-)  So no rival when you know what you're mounting.  It
plays nice not just with usb devices, also does a great thing with
gphotofs, sshfs, gdrivefs and others...

For things I don't know beforehand, neither the partitioning scheme, I
use udiskie with udisks2 (also dunst).  It's written in python, but
it's light and fast enough for me.  It provides a system tray which
comes in handy to unmount and explore devices.
