Your uv map looks good and should please the Poser crowd. Keeping the uv islands separate and packed as closely as possible might allow for a higher resolution texture by eliminating some of the blank spaces between uv islands, but it drives some people nuts to not be able to easily create their custom textures in a 2d image program.

If you have a good 3d paint utility, the seams really aren't an issue.
