Lisa,
        I have some inputs, but I don't think I can join your task group.
 Specifically, I use tented and plugged vias for vacuum hold down on pogo
pin fixtures.  Also, I use filled vias plated smooth for surface mount pads
which need a hardness to accept a pogo pin tip.  Keep me posted, if you
can.
