Ok, I finally got to the LB methods. Thanks a ton for the question, as this was pretty useful from a ZSI internals perspective. You totally nailed it with the 'facets': 

 
 In [258]: for f in res.facets: 
    .....:     print f.getAttributeDictionary()['value'] 
    .....: 
    .....: 
 LB_METHOD_ROUND_ROBIN 
 LB_METHOD_RATIO_MEMBER 
 LB_METHOD_LEAST_CONNECTION_MEMBER 
 LB_METHOD_OBSERVED_MEMBER 
 LB_METHOD_PREDICTIVE_MEMBER 
 LB_METHOD_RATIO_NODE_ADDRESS 
 LB_METHOD_LEAST_CONNECTION_NODE_ADDRESS 
 LB_METHOD_FASTEST_NODE_ADDRESS 
 LB_METHOD_OBSERVED_NODE_ADDRESS 
 LB_METHOD_PREDICTIVE_NODE_ADDRESS 
 LB_METHOD_DYNAMIC_RATIO 
 LB_METHOD_FASTEST_APP_RESPONSE 
 LB_METHOD_LEAST_SESSIONS 
 LB_METHOD_DYNAMIC_RATIO_MEMBER 
 LB_METHOD_L3_ADDR

I'll work up an exact example of how I got to this point and post soon.
