If I decide to stay with the molds over injection molding that is what I have been looking into. I had intended on using an epoxy mounting system. When it comes to production those tabs will most likely be too small and too oddly shaped to work well with the molds anyway. The screws may definitely be a stronger solution than the epoxy where room allows.
