Maybe try using a different chain tensioner? Paul Components, Surly and Shimano Alfine are all nice options but if that really isn't your thing a eccentric bottom bracket or hub could work out as well. Trying to find magic chain lengths isn't good because your chain can wear and effectively become loose.
