That's probably your loose personal definition. In most applications where you have to follow a strict set of rules, such as programming and math, it's possible to have a more correct answer. Two answers may achieve the same thing, however, the one that follows the rules more will always be more correct.

A little late, but this was a good thread.

#6 is the one I tend to use for most of my loops although I do it a little differently.

AI_Loop()
    // All my loops call the same Delay which 
    // handles game paused, the units delay, 
    // game over, and etc. Return of 0 is exit loop.
    if (!Delay())
        return;
    //
    // execute some code
    //
    spawn()
        AI_Loop()
