Rick DJ0IP has performed many hundreds of cmc measurements over the last
year or so. He has yet to publish his complete findings but here is a
taste:

http://www.dj0ip.de/cmc-test/pre-test-preparation/

http://www.dj0ip.de/cmc-test/test-configurations/
http://www.dj0ip.de/cmc-test/results-test-data/ant-2-b5/
After many hundreds of measurements he has demonstrated that with a *dual
core* Guanella 4:1 balun at the feed point, common mode current can be tamed
even with deliberately poor antenna and feeder layout.
There are not many folks who would take the care and have the patience to do
this sort of work.

You might consider an off-centre-fed dipole with appropriate balun and

Not if you're going to run power. An off center fed antenna generates high
common mode voltage, which will fry even the best choke when running
power. I wouldn't consider such an antenna at greater than 100W.
