What is the best way to launch applications via Applescript. I want to open
a set of apps, some of which are not scriptable. Is there a uniform,
generally accepted method for launching an app itself from a script?

tell app "the app you want to launch" to run
tell app "another app" to run

Or tell them to "activate" so they're all brought to the front (one at a time).
