If I upgrade now from Leopard to Snow Leopard, and sometime in the future my computer crashes - will I need also Leopard installation to restore ?

I have Leopard now. If I upgrade to Snow Leopard, and in the future I'll need to reinstall my computer - will I need also the Leopard installation in addition to the Snow leopard that I upgraded to ?

What version does the Snow Leopard install disk install?  What is the easiest way to install 10.6.8 on a new Macintosh?  (I need Rosetta)

I may soon buy a new MacBook Pro, but they are shipping with Lion and I need Rosetta. I can buy a Snow Leopard install disk, but what version does it install? I heard it was 10.6.5. It will be a nuisance, taking extra time and several reboots, to update from 10.6.5 to 10.6.8, which I may have to do several times over the lifetime of the computer.
