Anything from the little paper-filter masks ($1-Store specials) to a canister breather (what I use) are better than filling your lungs full of sawdust. Some woods are worse than others - some are even toxic. Anything that keeps the dust out is good - even an old t-shirt wrapped around your head.

I use the new safety glasses from HD - stylish and helpful. They don't keep all the dust out, but they keep chunks from flying in.
