You've said a lot of things you did, but I can't tell which ones you're saying you don't like (nor do I really understand #3 at all). Anyhow custom ratings appear to be working, did a test giving a main rating of 5 and a style rating of 4 and everything shows correctly.

Leave everything text unless you have reason to think otherwise. 1:3 - it is not a field name, it's a label. 2: blank values? If they're blank you need to fill them. It would make more sense for it to not insert anything in those templates though, it's just defaulting to that because it doesn't have any special case for rating fields and thinks you're adding a selector. Edit: Actually I can't duplicate that, I'm not getting anything inserted in my templates when I add a custom rating field.
