As you have observed, there are several ways of calculating IBU and they don't agree. Tinseth & Rager are the most common methods and they don't agree.
I leave Recipator set on Tinseth, because I really don't think one is any better than the other. Unless you are planning on having your ale tested by a laboratory, you won't know what you have anyway. My hopwine came out at 281.8 IBU, not likely, but fun to mention.
