And most importantly, using a 301 (permanent redirect) is what Google prefers. 
That server response code has been around a long time and the 90% figure is 
prolly really low, thinking about it, any stat you get for a Flash plugin would also 
work for this thread, as any browser that can handle that plugin surely will also 
know what a 301 response from a web server is. MM says like 98% for Flash or 
sumthin'.
