I hear you on Annotation, but I'd rather have everything done dynamically, as the we have lots of expressions built into this thing. but is there a way to force ArcGIS to extend the labels by let's say an inch or two?

There is the Label Manager dialog that you can access from the Labeling toolbar. It gives you a little finer grained control of your label placement. You can set offset to a specified unit, inches is one of the choices.
