With System Events, though, will the process name property at least always be consistent from Mac to Mac?

Yes. But you can always get it at run time:

use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"

my activateAppAtPath:(POSIX path of (path to application "Adobe Illustrator"))

on activateAppAtPath:appPosixPath
set theNSBundle to current application's NSBundle's bundleWithPath:appPosixPath
set processName to (theNSBundle's objectForInfoDictionaryKey:"CFBundleName") as text
tell application "System Events" to tell process processName
set frontmost to true
end tell
end activateAppAtPath:
