MAC and SMBIOS GUID aren't applicable here as AD Discovery won't get you those because AD doesn't care or know about them. If the object were created from something other than AD Discovery that did populate these then it is certainly valid though.
That leaves NetBiosName. This older MSDN page for ConfigMgr 2007 (more or less) details this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc146300.aspx. It also briefly discusses conflicts. Given that this is a page from 2007, I do think it missing some things though as I know AD SID is used in 2012 (and beyond) now also.
