Don't forget the most important aspect to rear wheel travel--bump steer--little or no toe-in in bump and absolutely no toe out. Also, keep camber gain to less than 1/2 degree negative per inch of bump travel in the rear.

Anti squat: Keep it to a minimum and you'll be ok. You can't get the tire patch to move back enough unless you have a 12 inches of bump travel. As you said, this can cause wheel chatter, the thing that breaks drivelines.
