This could be another option:

The following description is not complete, but in general, after some of the 
installs (probably all but one), you could use the -u option of useradd to 
create a new userid with a specified UID.  

To that end, on installation of one (the first) system, specify your desired / 
preferred username, and after the install, check its UID. 

During the installation of future systems, specify a dummy username.  After 
the install, go back and create a new user with your preferred username and 
the same UID as used in the installation of the first system (using -u).  Then 
(for "completeness" / "cleanliness") delete the dummy username and associated 
files directories (e.g., /home/<dummy_username>).

A problem with this is that your configureation files (hidden in 
/home/<preferred_username> may be ideal for one system but not very 
appropriate for some of the other systems.
