If I have headers set up for every chapter, will calibre be smart about it, and get the pagebreaks in there where they should be? Eh, I'm putting headers in eventually anyway for the sake of the TOC, so I guess I'll just see.

Make each chapter a separate XML file and you should be good to go with each chapter starting on a fresh screen with the chapter title how you want it.
Few things, don't put in paragraphs spaces, don't make the text san-serif, don't use large text indents but do use them, don't make the text small. Leave the body text at the devices default size, do not use large margins. If you do use margins, make them very small. Don't simulate blockquotes. Use the real thing if need be.
These things will help you make a good looking eBook. That's the fist thing to get people to enjoy your story. If you don't make it look nice, they won't get past the poor formatting to be able to enjoy the story.
