I've converted a number of books from PDF via Calibre and my experience has been quite satisfying. All the books I've converted, though, have been pretty much pure text. If you're having troubles, check out the Calibre forum here on Mobileread - the author of Calibre is a regular participant.
There are some things that Calibre doesn't do quite right, and I find that Sigil can usually sort those out quickly. The regular expression find&replace in Sigil is pretty good to delete the embedded page numbers and page headers/footers from the entire book with just a couple of commands.
What takes the longest, and for a typical book it's 5 to 10 minutes is to set up the TOC and chapter breaks through the book. I'd like to see Sigil enhanced to optomize that.
