I've read the discussions on binding with boxed and tubular rear suspensions, interesting stuff. Nobody mentioned anything about a tubular torque arm. Will that mod alone cause binding and is it worth the expense if it doesn't?

No, it will not cause anythign to bind as long as it retains the geometry of the original. Same overall length, provision for some front-to-rear motion (slight change in length due to suspension travel)at one end, same mounting to the rear end, etc.

So the aftermarket arm that bolts to the floor plan instead of the tranny is no good, since it doesn't provide front/rear motion?

The aftermarket torque arm that "bolts to the floor pan" is fine. It DOES HAVE provisions for longitudinal (forward and rearward) travel of the torque arm. Basically they just add another cross member behind the trans cross member, and mount front end of the control arm to that in some manner that allows longitudinal movement, but NO vertical or lateral movement.
