It doesn't really matter whether or not you use a hyphen between a name and an honorific when romanizing Japanese, although it is common practice. I believe it looks cleaner, so I like the hyphenate honorifics, but there aren't many people who will outright criticize another's romanization (especially whether they use a hyphen or not). Although, the problem with not using hyphens is that some may think that the honorific is part of the name itself, which would lead to quite a bit of confusion.
Please see the following examples:
ç”°ä¸ã•ã‚“ - Tanakasan vs. Tanaka-san
トãƒ?ãã‚“ - Tomukun vs. Tomu-kun
清åã¡ã‚ƒã‚“ - Kiyokochan vs Kiyoko-chan
サルコジ様 - Sarukojisama vs Sarukoji-sama

Style manuals such as Words into Type and Chicago Book of Stylehave chapters detailing hyphen usage, and they're excellent references for any writer or student.
