Using a controller doesn't stop you using the calendar picker, you just need to have an object with a date field in your controller.  Presumably you can instantiate a dummy task and tie the completion date of that to the input field in question?

One thing to beware of - make sure that the sobject you are using is accessible to all profiles that can access the page.  I used an opportunity first time around and any users with force.com platform licenses couldn't access the input field :)

One way is to create a custom 'carrier' object that contains a set number of all the different field types.  It means you burn a custom object from your allowance, but is one that you can add to all (custom) profiles.
