AFAIK, due to the issues you mentioned sfdisk is still the only way to partition a drive automatically from a script. (g)parted is a nice UI but the number of issues it has is mind-bogging. Sfdisk has an option to calculate in units of sectors on a nice -f option which lets you set up any layout you calculate. Not something parted can do. Unfortunately, the only supported partition type is msdos/mbr.
