Doesnt increase penalty for repeat offenders. And I could never get any of the repeat offenders tweaks I found online to work. So I use OSSEC. Little tedious to setup but worth it.
Depends on what you need but OSSEC could be overkill but can come handy with big scale hosting like shared. But i still think for personal or small hosting like few clients on a VPS f2b is great option.
