I'm not much help as far as trackplanning goes, but I feel that while setting a minimum radius is important, it's also important to use the maximum that you can accommodate wherever possible. If you can, leave the sharper curves for industrial tracks and sidings - on the mainline, your "minimum" should be broader, as it will be the one that limits your mainline operational possibilities.
