For what it's worth, I'm currently using task scheduler to import my pool on startup.

Open Task Scheduler → Action → Create Task:
• General:
• Name: Mount [pool name]
• Run with highest privileges: Enabled
• Triggers → New → Begin the task: At log on
• Actions → New
• Action: Start a program
• Program/script: zpool
• Add arguments: import [any additional options you want] [pool name]
