I have only had that problem when another copy of the file is found in
your path before the one listed in /etc/sudoers, but that is a whole
other problem.

I personally, on my notebook, have a 
%wheel	ALL=(ALL)	ALL
Which means any user in the "wheel" group can run any app as root. 
Since I am the only one who uses it, and it logs all commands, it is
easiest.  I use similar things on my other boxes as well for system
administrators, but tighten it down for people who only need to limited
things as root.
