All of these methods look great to me!
I'm no unix expert, or applescript expert for that matter, although I
have found the unix commands that I have been using in my applescript
to be quicker and alot of the time more reliable than some of the
applescript commands..
shell script isnt the answer to everything, although I think you should
also be open to them being the answer somethings.. ?
Am I out of line?

You can also try :
do shell script "niutil -list . /users"
You'll have the complete list of the users available on the machine,
including System accounts.
Why is do shell script the answer to everything?
tell application "System Events"
set _users to every user
set corporeals to every user whose picture path contains "/" -- every
"real" user
-- actually more of a pain to find through niutil than straight AS
end tell
