RAW mode is a good way to forget about the auto-WB.

Shooting vertically is mostly a good way to increase the vertical resolution (at the cost of more images, but who cares about processing times?)

This includes the suggested auto white balance, but not exposure.

I had never thought of shooting vertically when the subject is horizontal like the typical landscape. This would definitely be helpful when cropping the final image after processing, as it has its borders altered. Good tip.

I personnally use PhotoStitch for the pano processing. Sadly, this is a Canon proprietary product and it is free only to Canon camera owners.
PhotoStitch has one outstanding features: it is able to apply a slight rotation to each picture to improve the stitching. This is great when you don’t have your tripod handy to capture this gorgeous sunset and have to go manual quickly.
One drawback however (which I think is common to most stitchers): it can’t process raw images directly.
