You have to take great care in selecting appropriate radii indeed. One
possible way might be to see if you can look up experimental solvation
free energies for some of your compounds and see if your set of radii
reproduces those.

What you can do is cut out only a certain region of interest, minimize it
and conduct NMA on that. This works for ligand binding studies but not if
your entire system is changing.
