@darthviper: This is not got, first of all, you are welding hard edges, which is bad because you will get bleeding if you dont position that edge pixel perfect or have a high LM resolution. Also, you could take that circle and easily break it up into a rectangle like the one it is welded to! Your unwrap is quite bad for a cylinder and wastes some space, especailly since most standard packers can’t pack inside closed shells and because it’s harder to pack then 2 rectangles and a small top face. Matching a grid is a completey other story.

Not sure what you’re saying. For any UV map you’ll want to reduce the amount of UV seams, sure this method wastes space, but this gives the fewest seams while also keeping warping to a minimum.
