R-PVST + manual VLAN management works like a charm here.

I'm glad it works for you, I really am. But I'm definitely not
interested in getting into a food fight about which STP protocol is
"better" ;o)
In all seriousness, both MST and PVST are an appropriate tool for some
jobs, and not for others. Few of the jobs I've personally come across
were suited to MST, hence I have a better opinion of PVST, but it's just
that - an opinion. There's no absolute right or wrong here.
Hopefully the info presented in the thread will help the OP choose which
is appropriate for them.
The point that lower-end switches have serious instance limitations is a
good one though - especially (as you later describe) when doing
top-of-rack switching and hundreds of VLANs.
