Ok. A few thoughts. First, someone told me once that they believed Hell to be people. People, as in dealings with people and people's perceptions, etc. A very broad, vauge way to explain it, but it works for everyone who thinks about it; which is more than you say about the collective religious explainations of Hell.
Second, If Hell and Heaven are eternal and enternally the same, wouldn't they both be a form of tourture after a few millenium? I mean, you judge how good something is by the bad. (i.e. "Oh, it's a great day today, but only because it was a really shitty one yesterday.") If Heavan was a place devoid of any pain and suffering, would you begin to forget why Heaven was so great?
And thirdly, in accordance witih tisonlyi: There are three statements. Only two of which can be true. 1. God is all powerful 2. God is all good. 3. There is evil in the world.
