We use tiffs across the board here and never get these ugly problems you're describing. A good pipeline, a clean workflow and some Photoshop actions avoid human interactions when it comes time to spit out files for rendering. :)

Wayyyy too many flavors and options for people to f**k up. Yes they support a lot of features... but I almost never want any of them, and I don't want texture guys saving them with layers using lzw compression in cmyk ;) Seriously.
