How do I permanently stop iPhone text messages from appearing on my iMac. I don't want to send/receive/view messages on my computer. I only want to use my phone for sending/receiving/viewing messages. Also, I'm hoping the fix doesn't require constant maintenance. I've gotten advice for this before, but the fix has to be repeated every time I restart my computer.

10.8 is a bit more strict than previous versions, with respect to what should be a boolean value. If you change as below, it should work like you want.
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<true/>
Note that in this mode, not only is an app hidden from the dock, but the menu bar does not display either when the program is active.
In your Settings go to Messages> Send & Receive and you should be able to set your preferences from there. Go to the "Start New Conversations From:" section and set your phone number to be the default.
If your phone number does not appear, turn FaceTime off and on. Phone number should show up
