You can use the extrarowheight command from the array package to stretch all the rows. Otherwise you can define your own "strut" command to enlarge a single row. The code below is based on array's strut box. If you are using vertical lines, then us it on the sides also.
EDIT: There is also the bigstrut package

You can use the extrarowheight command from the array package to stretch all the rows. Otherwise you can define your own "strut" command to enlarge a single row. The code below is based on array's strut box. If you are using vertical lines, then us it on the sides also.
EDIT: There is also the bigstrut package
I have also include an example how to do it properly with booktabs
documentclass{article}
usepackage{array}
%setlength{extrarowheight}{1pt}
usepackage{booktabs} %for top, middle and bottomline
usepackage{bigstrut}
setlengthbigstrutjot{3pt}

newlengthmylenb
newcommandmystrut[1][2]{%
setlengthmylena{#1ht@arstrutbox}%
setlengthmylenb{#1dp@arstrutbox}%
rule[mylenb]{0pt}{mylena}}

BTW, please consider editing your answer down to a minimal example: most of the packages you load are not needed.

(As you know about
booktabs, I'm left wondering why you want vertical lines. Thebooktabsmanual is pretty clear on why they are not a good thing in formal tables.)– Joseph Wright♦

@ptrcao: Please read the
booktabsmanual on this. As you should not have vertical rules in formal tables, they are not supported bybooktabs. (I suspect the implementation would also be awkward, to say the least.)– Joseph Wright♦

Thanks, yeah, I know it is discouraged; rest assured, I've read the manual and I know the comment by the package author you refer to. The reason I'm using vertical rules is more because it is a publication convention.

I appreciate the advice and I know where it is coming from. I try to avoid it where I can. If anyone knows how to implement unbroken vertical lies with booktabs or otherwise to equivalent effect, I'd still be interested.
