Sigil always replaces inline styles with style sheets. Normally I replace the sgc-x styles with reelvant ones used in my main style sheet and delete the Sigil Style sheet.
Actually, ePUB follows the more strict rules of XHTML. The link is still a good place to start. I know that w3c advises to avoid <i> and <b>, but I feel (and I am fortunately not alone in that) that they are wrong there.

I also always replaces the sgc-x styles. Usually I have an appropriate style already available, making the change easy.
