Is there any reason why you work with pre-defined levels for page protection (default, block unregistered users, users with the sysop right), why not base the protection on the available groups available in the user_groups table?
It works based off a combination of $wgProtectionActions and $wgProtectionGroups or somesuch, I believe.
Part of the reason user_groups isn't used is because implicit membership isn't stored there, so protecting against anonymous editing, or autoconfirmed editing, wouldn't work.
