Follow the way you describe it.
You want to do something when the page is edited/created. So, yes, hook into
the IO_WIKIPAGE_WRITE. Anywhere else and there is no guarantee you'll catch
every save[1].
If you need to the page rendered to access the information you're after, call
the parser to get it rendered. Metadata is a much lighter/faster renderer than
xhtml. If you're searching for data that can be easily found using strstr,
preg_match or similar, then use those.
If you do call the parser there are any number of methods to exchange values
between the action plugin& syntax plugin. The simplest is p_get_metadata
(which calls the parser and returns a value) - but call it after the save!
