If you have the luxury of redesigning your IIR filter, I have had very good
results designing filters using Yule-Walker type techniques, certainly producing
+- 10 degrees in the passband, even for fairly funny filters (ie. low pass things
with integral 50Hz notches, notch just outside the pasband).
Reference:
Roberts and Mullis, Digital Signal Processing, Addison-Wesley, 1987

Although I used the functions delivered with Pro-Matlab from The Math Works to
do the design.

Also interesting (and of no personal design experience) is an article:
Clements, "On Causal Linear Phase IIR Digital Filters",
	IEEE Trans. ASSP, Vol 37, No. 4, Apr 1989

Good stuff -
