You only need a different model if you have a different set of parameters or processes attached to that "real world" object represented by that model. How they authenticate doesn't change the inner nature. In the end, you would still have a User, right?

Omniauth will make the Facebook (ick) or Twitter, or Github, or anything else pretty much, a once stop shop. There's a couple of Railscasts about it, and that's where I would start.
