Along the lines of what you just mentioned Tim, I too like to sort of not resolve to im right away. A lot of times I'll hang on a IV chord (post turnaround) voiced like this ...

E13

----------x-------------
----------5------------
----------6-----------
----------6-----------
----------5----------
----------x-----------

Voiced this way, with the 7th on the bottom, it won't get in the way of the bass hitting a B. And, it can be thought of as sort of a rootless Bm11 thing anyway.
(It doesn't just have to be on a blues either - any minor tune that has a i chord for the last two bars.)
* Another one I stole from a piano player *
