Is there a perfect table style for LaTeX?

I've found separate styles to do better vertical spacing ( tabls.sty),
do long tables ( supertab.sty), and do decimal aligning ( decalign.sty).
I've been bothered by each of these problems ( equations overlapping,
20 page tables ( in an appendix), and columns of floating point numbers).
Has anyone got a combined style file?  One tabular environment that will
do multipage tables, equations in the table, and has d in addition to
l, r, c, and p{} as alignment options?  

Call it lazyness, but I'd rather not have to deal with three separate 
styles.  Another problem is fixing two problems in the same table with 
the separate styles.

I don't feel qualified to merge them myself, but perhaps the authors or
some TeX wizard will do it.
