Keith there are articles on this sort of stuff from the makers of very 
input impedance amps:  ADI, TI, NS, LTI, etc.  The trade-off with 
conformal coating is that the coating will give you a lot more leakage 
than a clean, dry PCB.  If the board can be kept clean and dry then 
avoid the conformal coat.  There are other tricks that have been 
previously mentioned involving packaging the Hi Z amplifier off the PCB 
using PTFE stand-offs and such.
