Choosing a Flavorless Oil with Specific Qualities
I'm looking for a cooking oil that's flavorless.
Many people like coconut oil, but I think it has too strong of a smell. Olive oil, while noticeably less pungent, is still noticeable. I'm also trying to avoid most nut-derived oils, to avoid possible unwanted allergic reactions.
I'm leaning towards something that's low in trans fat and relatively high in polyunsaturated fat. Something that'll stay liquid (even when kept in the fridge) would be nice.

Sunflower oil is really the only one that meets your requirements.
You could try Rice Bran oil. It is virtually flavourless and I've used it for anything from salad dressings to frying. It has 37% polyunsaturated fats. The smoking point is 232 Celsius.
Safflower oil is probably your best bet! Very light, unsaturated fat, almost no flavor. It also stands up well to high temps.
