Andrew,
We make numerous map books at a variety of scales. I would suggest creating a 5000 unit grid and a 1000 unit grid using the Cartography Tools/Data Driven Pages/Grid Index Features
Display the Grid Index Features appropriately, but set the scale dependencies for the 1000 unit grid to not display when only the 5000 unit is appropriate. You can use the 5000 unit grid as the source for the graticule.
Here is a sample with two data frames centered on the same area. The top image shows the 5000 unit grid, page graticule, and 1000 unit grid. The bottom is just the 5000 unit grid.
If you needed to add a latitude/longitude or UTM graticule those could be added with a different font & offset.

Hi Andrew,
I'm currently working on a map project for the Santa Cruz County Search and Rescue team and dealing with a similar issue. The people on the ground want UTM coords and the pilots want decimal degrees. My initial thought was to set up the different grids to use and then export each as a graphic, then convert the graphics to a feature to have access to it in the TOC.
Obviously this is not an ideal solution but I'm hoping it works. I think the biggest problem is going to be the loss of dynamic labeling once converted. I'll let you know what happens if I give it a shot.
Best,
