I think I've finally come to the conclusion that we should resort to using 1/2" OD wooden dowels to meet all FIRST criteria.

Am I missing something or am I heading in the right direction??
I drilled a thru hole for 1/2" PVC schedule 40 pipe last night and 13/16" was a snug fit - pipe is measured based on inside diameter.

I suspect we'll see either be 1/2" dowel or 1/2" OD aluminum tubing from a lot of teams.
