I think you might want to look into a backplate and wing setup as it will address several of your problems.
First - you would not have any squeeze with this setup as the bladder is completely behind you and you just have shoulder and waist straps.
Second - the bp/w with a standard hog harness will allow you custom configuration to your body - even if you add/lose weight - so it is essentially good until the webbing wares out.
Third - the backplate can add 6+ lbs of lead directly to your back which will help with your trim and reduce the amount of overall lead you need. Moving some weight to an area directly over your lungs and bladder makes trimming easier. You could then add the additional weight directly to the backplate with plates, to the camband (tank) straps, as well as the waist straps. Also, keep in mind that switching tto this rig will decrease the amount of lead you will need since the rig is much less bouyant then a standard jacket rig.
I am not saying this is the only way to go - but it does help address many of the problems you have been experiencing - so keep it in mind and try one out if you can!
