If you are intending to use Illustrator with Mapinfo why not check out MAPublisher (www.mapublisher.com)? It is a geospatial suite for Illustrator that acts as a set of plugins that allows the direct import of many GIS data formats including Mapinfo data as full attributed and spatially acurate vectors. If you do that you can use the full design power of Illustrator with the attribute data of the Mapinfo file and thus produce great maps easily without having to suffer through the poor rasterized output you have described.
