Definitely I would either just pass the entire user object in or use a session facade to instantiate the user ubject from within the server scoped CFC. The primary reason I would choose one over the other would be that explicitly passing in the user object would allow you to potentially pass in ANY user object (logged in user or not), while using a session facade pretty much will tightly couple that server scope CFC to the logged in user and you will have to refactor to allow it to support other user objects.
