Sorry, my post alert is not working for this Lateral G so I missed all this. Hotchkis arms are now geometry corrected meaning the upper ball joint is moved back and the lower ball joint is moved forward for more caster without moving the wheel back in the fender well.
As for drilling new holes or using a tall ball joint. All you doing either way is changing the pivot point of the control arm shaft in relation to the ball joint. Weather you move the shaft down or ball joint up, you get the same basic effect. you simply want that upper arm pulling the top of the tire in as the arm moves up. Drilling the holes is free but only works with aftermarket arms without center bracing in the arms.
