I personally ask the groomer not to express the anal glands because I don't think Thor needs it and I figure if he doesn't need something up his butt, I'll spare him the experience.

As for the ears: I was told by my vet that some people believe that plucking ear hair is hygenic and can prevent infection; and that other people believe that plucking the ear hair opens up tiny wounds that can get infected. My vet is on this "don't pluck ear hair" side, so I go with their advice. I'm sure many people do the exact opposite.

A sanitary cut is really nice, especially for boys; they should trim the nails, maybe clean the ears; and of course, make your dog look hot.
