In the end I'll always use caliber for what I can since it just rocks, but I want to get the best quality EPUB I can from my .pdfs.

First the disclaimer - I am the creator of
pdf2epub plugin for Acrobat.
The software should give you better results than Calibre on several dimensions - better retention of font properties (font class/ color/ size), better paragraph and other text structure detection, and retention of PDF bookmarks as navigation TOC in ePub.
The solution uses Tags in PDF to drive the conversion process. So if your sources are Tagged PDFs, the results will likely be substantially different than Calibre's.
