Just another vote for biblatex. If there is a an "old school" bibtex .bst style which exactly fits your needs, use that of course. But since there probably isn't one (I'm in German humanities, so I guess I know roughly what you need), forget about .bst files or custom-bib. It's really not worth bothering, you wont achieve what you need with those tools. There are already several very good biblatex styles which should come close to what you need, and if you need to make changes for your special needs, biblatex is pure joy, while changing .bst files is dark magic.
