Jackey I've subscribed to your ticket in case I can be of further help down the road.
In the meantime, based on looking at your last example, the labels without OUTLINECOLOR are pretty good, the one thing I would recommend further is decreasing your font size by a point or two. This will minimize the occurence of small fractures that happen when the label bends around a tight curve (something almost inevitable).
