I'm setting up a new server. It will be mostly hands of for sysadmin management, because it's not used for anything too high traffic/ enterprise. If I choose automatic security updates will the updates cause the server to restart on its own (in order to complete the installation process), or will I have to login restart (or set up a chron job)?

To guard against service interruptions caused by your app server going down, you shouldn't set automatic updates. Where possible, have an update test server where you can test the updates before allowing them to be installed on production systems. You want to test the functionality you have implemented as well, not just a reboot "it loaded without a crash" test.
