I use the Alderson Drive you mentioned.  I can see there are a number of
ways FTL *might* work, but I have difficulty swallowing that the
universe
is actually going to give us five or six (or more!) ways of FTL.  I
would
limit it to one method, and add your flavor to that one method.  (For
example: Moties can make passage at higher real-space velocities because
they can still hit the Alderson Point--but they have more serious mental
debilitation from each jump than humans.  They still use Alderson Drive,
of
course not built the same way the humans do).
