Ian.M:
Sorry it took me so long to reply - I've had a lot of non-EE stuff going on so didn't have time for a properly considered reply earlier.

The off-state output leakage per driver is specced at 10uA max. so you don't actually need any pulldown resistors for the LED version unless you are driving a BJT or MOSFET.   The ULN2x03 chips include an internal base-emitter pulldown.  You certainly don't need a large negative bias for the pulldowns - that is only to get a high enough Vak for sufficient brigtness for multiplexed VFDs.  For any output that needs a pulldown, simply take the pulldown to whichever rail (Gnd or -10V) sinks the current from the LED cathode drivers.
