Just get plated through holes and this isn't an issue.

I'm assuming the standard eagle resistors and capacitors will be fine, or do you recommend increasing their pad/hole sizes as well?

The library author cannot know which actual components you will use. Get each component's datasheet and check the sizes against what is on your layout. There's no other way to make sure. Your PCB software should be able to make you a drill legend so you can print it and check each and every hole one by one.
