Sometimes on the REB 1200, when I use no margins, text can bleed into the side of the screen. I, personally, don't find this visually appealing, so I prefer at least a small margin, say 2% (of the screen width). On the REB 1200 with screen size of 480x680, this results in 9 to 10 pixels or 1 character on each side.
In addition to the default 2% left and right margins, I will probably add the just the following margins settings (switches) to mobi2imp:
--nomargins = 0% left and right margins
--largemargins = 5% left and right margins
--hugemargins = 8% left and right margins
I feel it is best to deal with margins in terms percentages (%) so to accomodate varying screen size proportionally.
Any other thoughts?

For my eb1150 I usually set 2 pixels margin for the same bleeding problem. Certain letters push into the right margin, particularly with justified text (due to fixed kerning) and a little margin on the left side provides just enough distance to be comfortable to read. I usually set fixed pixels in this case because the amount needed does not change with zoom factors. It is just fonts at the edge. Otherwise I want the maximum width possible.
