“using search term" uses PubMed to download the bibliographic information (by 
default), basically using the same method as a (PubMed) search group. How well 
that works probably depends on what type of publication you are looking for. 
Using the “from” argument essentially does the same thing as pasting on the 
main table and New Publication from Clipboard, which for a DOI string gets 
bibtex data from the DOI site. That probably is valid more generally.

Dear Christiaan,

Indeed. I have so far always used only

set theDOI to (get the clipboard as string)
tell front document of application "BibDesk"
set theImportPubs to import for search term theDOI
end tell

which rarely works well, so I stopped using it. Is these day your variant the 
way to go then?

Thanks.

And when you want to use AppleScript, you can use the import command:

set theDOI to (get the clipboard as string)
tell application “BibDesk"
tell front document
import from theDOI
end tell
end tell

So you get the  bibtex from the website? That is more a problem of that web 
site then.

Why not just get the bibtex directly from within BibDesk? There are various 
ways. You can open the URL in a web group, and you will get publication (it is 
downloaded from the DOI site). Or even simpler, copy the DOI, and paste on the 
main window or use Publication > New Publication from Clipboard. The bibtex is 
basically the same as the one from doi2bib.
