Hi Jeff,
I have the PRS-505, not the crowd your pinging but I can answer a few of your questions.

Up until recently mobipocket was also my preferred format even over LRF. The main reason was because so I could configure the ebook to my liking. Calibre makes this process extremely easy. And is no more work than coping the file to the ebook.
Of course there is something to be said about having a device that naively supports a format.

(Or do a lot of conversions to Sony format.)

I tried several solutions here. The best solution by far is the light wedge SONY sells, but the wedge scratches very easily.
Don't worry about the font size if you are converting you can set your default base size to your liking. I rarely use a different font size on converted files. While on PDF I do tend to zoom more.
