There are any gb models, as well as many sets of intrinsic born radii that
can be used with them. I wouldn't rule them all out.

Regarding explicit solvent, if you use constant volume you can go quite
high. Be aware that you might need smaller time steps to keep integration
stable. Also, you can get non Arrhrenius effects where the search become
more difficult at higher T. You will also have to decide on and validate
the annealing schedule.
