You've found both the methods which apple makes available. If you don't want to use iCloud, or can't because it ties you to the MAS, then you're left with iTunes file sharing. It's not a lovely solution, it's ok for moving a file every once in a while or priming some data one-time, but more than that it won't really do. It doesn't help that it's so rarely used (in my experience) that many users don't even know it's there .. how often do you click on the App tab when your device is connected and you have iTunes up and scroll to the bottom of the page to see the 'file sharing' stanza?
That is however the cheapest solution, where cheapest means you can implement it with very little effort indeed and it does work.
