IMO protected (nonbreaking) hyphens would be the best thing for us.
Generally switching line breaks along hyphenation off is not a good
idea, because we also have very long hyphenated compounds that then
would leave big gaps in the typesetting.
The question now is which packages do support nonbreaking hyphens and
which notation to use.
