RE: "a better way to position the fields to where I can use one view and control viability via permissions" are the views drastically different? If they are largely the same layout and you need to just change some sections you could try using panels along with "fill" layouts properties. This will allow blank space to be filled with visible panels/fields.
About the infinite loop you could use a global field as a flag that controls the loop. A global field will set info in a cookie so the value will be retained when opening new tabs, etc. So the workflow would be something like 1) check group membership 2) set the flag field 3) open the right view if flag field is not null 4) set a default flag that will control looping in case the flag field isn't set based on group membership. Another option would be to use the AR System Customizable Home Page and show your custom form in-line in one of the view fields provided. The configuration you create that allows users to choose your form has the option to open a specific view and set permissions on groups that can use the configuration.
