Writing Values To Front Panel Controls (Most Efficient Method)

What is obfuscating in using terminals whenever possible and eventually local variables if unavoidable?
Nothing, but burying references in subVIs so deep that your main reason for using them is you don't want to pass data up through the terminals is.

I agree! Using UI refences for doing things to the UI outside of the actual GUI VI (except smaller helper functions that encapsulate common functionality but never over many subVI levels deep) is always an indication that one is doing something fundamentally wrong.
But the benchmark was correctly showing the terminal and local variable to be by far the top performing solutions. So anyone who is a bit performance wary will hopefully think several times now before using value properties (or shared variables).

I sure hope so. You are talking about one of my major pet peeves.
