They're gonna look good when you get all done. I generally correct the
perspective on buildings such that the sides are *very slightly*
tapering in at the top... because I think that's what our eyes/brain
actually sees. In any case I find that it looks more natural.
Perfectly vertical looks a bit weird.
As to one corner vignetting... I hate to say it but I think it's a lens
defect.
