Are there better alternatives to setting the Row Locks and Page Locks in SQL Server 2008?
The case here is to set the row and page locks to false on the table. The lock is in effect during a series of insert, update and delete actions on the table which are run in a batch.

If I understand you correctly, a better way is to use TABLOCK hint to force a table level lock in the query that needs it (example: delete from a heap)
Personally, I wouldn't set it globally in the CREATE INDEX statement...
Also, the MSDN page for sp_indexoptions states
