I use the bleach tablets for allmy toilets including the seldom used guest one and they work great. Drop in the tank and forget it. Every once in awhile I'll flush to "reinvirgorate" things. No stains, no damage.
We stopped using them when we got our new toilets as the Manufacturer and the Plumber said they can cause degradation of the flapper and seals and cause leaks.
I just looked it up on Google and here is one of many sites that state such:

This article does list an alternative to the in tank tablets...

My day is now complete. A 4yr old thread on toilet bowls has been resurrected. ROFL

I used to have a bathroom in my house that was rarely used. The water would frequently evaporate from the toilet, leaving a ring of mineral deposits. I used a pumice stone (on a handle) to quickly remove the stain. I know it sounds counter-intuitive since you'd expect the stone to badly scratch the toilet. The key is to make sure the stone is wet first so that it is softened and doesn't scratch. Once it is wet, just rub the pumice stone it over the mineral line.
