How/where can I find a reliable atomic radii table?

I am currently working on a periodic table to include it in a experimental chemistry book and I would like to include non-bonded atomic radii data so it would be easier for the students to learn about periodic trends and quickly determine if an atom is more likely to produce a hard or a soft Lewis acid-base.
The problem is that every reference I looked have different values for the same atom. For instance, see the results for Hydrogen and Gold non-bonded atomic radii below:
In this site we have: 0.53 (H) / 1.74 (Au) Å
In RSC site, we have: 0.32 (H) / 1.30 (Au) Å
This aricle (Slater, 1964 - see the DOI below): 0.25 (H) / 1.35 (Au) Å
Finally, in Wikipedia (which is the result Google will return if you type the search query "hydrogen/gold atomic radius") is: 0.53 (H) / 1.66 (Au) Å

Hey Mate
There have been several attempts for systematic van der Waals and covalent radii sets using quantum mechanics and crystallography recently. But I find your particular request for "atomic" radii a bit unclear. Do you want VdW or covalent radii?
