Is there a recommended way to manage energy saver prefs?

I could run pmset commands as a login, or startup pref, but I was hoping to find a way to do it with plain ole mcx?

I also noticed a few items in the dev kit, as well as some scripts - is there a sanctioned way that folks have settled on?

These are my MCX settings:

Domain: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.MCX
Key: com.apple.EnergySaver.desktop.ACPower-raw
Value:

<dict>
    <key>Automatic Restart On Power Loss</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
    <key>Disk Sleep Timer-boolean</key>
    <false/>
    <key>Display Sleep Timer</key>
    <integer>30</integer>
    <key>Sleep On Power Button</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
    <key>System Sleep Timer</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
    <key>Wake On LAN</key>
    <integer>1</integer>
    <key>Wake On Modem Ring</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
</dict>
