Somewhere in the Calibre FAQ they have a list from Kovid that has exactly this. Can't find it right now though.
In my experience, my preference for stuff floating around on the web is, best to worst
HTML
kindle (mobi/prc)
LIT - watch for the italics - I've lost italics on a lot of LIT conversions
I don't have a lot of experience with LRF files.
I find a lot of the time, the HTML is safest, because it's the oldest and also one of the best to convert from. Dig around and find the original HTML file if you can. A lot of the other files tend to be conversions from the HTML using Calibre or other tools, and so they get more and more issues from various conversions with whatever programs (extra blank spaces between paragraphs I have to remove, for example, or italics dropped during a conversion somewhere and not caught, etc).
