I don't like the idea of pre-flop bet sizing variation based on hand strength.

sort of related though, it is pretty common to vary open raise sizing by position, 4x/3.5x in ep, 3x or even 2.5x in steal postions. I guess you could argue for 4x+1 with steal hands at either end of your range and 3x+1 for the others, dunno.

re not-so-raise-worthy hands - why do you want to play these hands? will you make money from them long term? if so, then the standard raise question answers itself, if not, then perhaps a fold is in order...
