"regular" meter cans. We'll run the neutral through the can, but not land it on the center lugs- they don't connect to the meter anyway as you've pointed out. The grounding in the meter cans will be via conduit (won't that do? what code says not?) or we'll just land the EGC on the center lugs in the can.

If the conduit is your ground, and you're not using 5th terminal meter cans, you can just leave the center terminals empty on those meter cans if you want to. Just run the neutral straight through unspliced, routed around the left of right of the meter jaw assembly. I tend to favor an actual conductor as the EGC for no other reason than it gives me warm fuzzies to do so.
 
The members here seem pretty well split along the lines of "conduit is good enough" and "gotta run a copper ground".

Now I know what camp you're in! :) We probably won't run one. (now you know what camp I'm in!! lol! )
