Hi Doug. I agree with most of your points--except for one: long shock cords.
I make shock cords WAY too long for 2 reasons: 1) a shock cord that's too long can be repaired and retied several times before it becomes a too short shock cord, and 2) from my experiences with rockets with heavily-wieghted nose cones, a short shock cord can and HAS broken on laundry deployment, or the NC has sprung back and damaged the BT end.
To summarize, I prefer to use an elastic fabric shock cord that's too long. But hey, everyone's different.
Good thread BTW.
