I use the Modify plugin to strip non DC metadata elements, it follows that I also eschew the use of calibres Send to Device, Save To Disk, for they put it all back. But that suits me, I use an Android tablet, I manage all the data with one app (Cheetah Sync), and I only keep a current working set of 10-30 'books' on it.

Another possibility might be to copy the books in question to a fresh empty 'Output' library, only selecting the custom columns required when copying. And then send/mail/save the books from the 'Output' library. And then delete the 'Output' library and create a fresh one. But you'd lose any device syncing capabilities.

I like the idea of a feature to select what metadata is sent/saved, as well as all the non-DC elements I would also unselect Comments (DC:Description), and Tags (DC:Subject). Today I remove them with Sigil's metadata editor..
