You MIGHT want to put a weak pull-up or pull-down on MISO if SPI activity is infrequent to prevent a floating input on the PIC. The floating input increases power dissipation of the PIC but is generally not serious. I generally do not use pull-ups or pull-downs on SPI lines. However, I'll often put a pull-up on nCS for each chip to keep multiple devices from driving MISO before the PIC has changed the pins from their power up input conditions to output and high.
