If and when you have time on your hands, a projection that is rarely used but
quite interesting is Guyou's Doubly-Periodic Projection.  (See the first and
third figures in http://www.members.shaw.ca/quadibloc/maps/mcf0703.htm). 
This projection puts the worst distortion at four points in the ocean, and
does a reasonable job of preserving the shapes and relative sizes of the
major land masses.
