when working with a character, by all means don't use the world coordinate system.

And the only way to really avoid gimbal lock is to isolate rotation. That means for the arms for instance using a bone between the clavicle and the upper arm to control only the arm swinging forward and back while the raise and twist is controlled by the upper arm bone itself.
