It depends if you're going to be doing this more than once. If it's only once, then maybe a fixture is good enough. If you're going to be doing this more than once, and tweaking things over time then there's nothing wrong with a custom script. I chose the latter for my recent version of this dilemma, and I'm quite happy with it.
