I went with the reputationid because that's guaranteed to be unique (well, unless someone changes the table for some odd reason). However, that's not part of the database query for the reputation (which I failed to notice until after taking the changes for a first round test run) for some reason, so I did the file edit afterwards (the edit is rather small). There is one other way, but only because vBulletin currently does not allow a user to rep the same post twice. However, if I do that, there's the risk of the wrong comment getting reported if someone has another modification which, say, allows people to rep the same post more than once.
That said, I did put in a JIRA requesting the file edit needed by this to be done to the vB core files themselves, partly because reputation id is part of the query for the reputation given section, and I'm of the opinion that ID should be a part of any query anyway :P.
