Or should I just bring a roll of quarters and drive everyone nuts dropping 9 of them in the onboard fare box each time?
You can use your credit card at the CTA Pass machine that's in the Metra ticket lobby in Union Station.
Link here; scroll to the bottom. It's near the baggage claim, opposite of the Metro Deli.

If you travel to Chicago often, you should go ahead and get a
Chicago Card.
