I'd be interested in how others do this, I run something similar to
the following on plugin activation:

// Get the option (returns a default if it doesn't exist)
$value = get_option( $name, $some_default_value );
// Then set the option value in case it didn't exist
update_option( $name, $value );

Hope this helps.
