Is there a “happy medium” fingerboard radius that would accommodate most playing situations? Suggestions please?

FWIW my current bass is very flat.

I find with flat boards I have to look at what I'm doing, whereas with a 7.25" radius board I can whiz around quite happily while leering at scantily-clad women in the audience. But I'm prepared to believe that's purely because I'm used to curved boards. Maybe I should get a flatter board though, it might keep me off the sex offenders' register... O.o

Yes, I'd imagine so. But "I'm used to it" and "I like it" seem to me to be good reasons for your choices. If it lets you scope out the audience, I say go for it.
