AFAIK the improvements by better keys are relatively small. Simply using 
more bits with a good random number generator can decrease the 
probability of collisions quite effectively. How many additional bit's 
does your "secret" scheme save (assuming equal probability of 
collisions), compared to high quality random keys and other standard 
approaches such as those maximising the hamming distances?
