I'm pretty sure you'll not get user preferences in the nodelets for quite a while (if ever).  Nodelets are rendered on every page load and so are best when they can be cached.  And cached nodelets can't be user-specific.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Your caching for best/worst nodes is quite nice but it still reads quite a few records out of the database.  Doing that 4 times for every page load would probably end up with more DB load than we had before your work.
&lt;/p&gt;
