I don't know if it's best, but it sounds like it would work. Also lua_touserdata will return the pointer regardless of whether the userdata is full or light, so you should be able to use exactly the same code regardless of who owns the userdata, in both cases, create the table, set the metatable, and set the userdata as an element of the table.
