That is a tough one,
In fact I have been thinking ever since I saw your first email.  Richard 
Gould (CCed on this email) is going
to look into GeoTiff support for the uDig project.  the idea was to make 
a Format for the FileSystemGridCoverageExchange.
This work is happening on trunk (2.1.x stream).

You said you wanted to work against the 2.0.x stream? It is a 
interesting choice between DataSource (which we are planning to retire),
and GridCoverageExchange which is still under development.
