Good question, hopefully I can confuse you even more, err. I mean help clarify your questions
I've gone back in forth on this issue myself. Being inherently efficient (read lazy) I tend to go with the least effort approach. Problem lies that I am picky about my book formats I find I don't like the format most LRF are published with (except for SONY's Bookstore books). The fonts are too large and the borders too thick. So I often find myself downloading the mobi content and converting it to LRF.
I wish there was and LRF to LRF tool out there that would allow me to easily reformat the book fonts.
NOTE: I chose MOBI for three reasons. I find more books I'm interested in that format, Calibe seems to convert these files better than the LIT and last I have a SmartPhone so I can share the files across devices.

If your concern is is file format compatibility, you have nothing to worry about with LRF files. The file format is well known and there are tools that can convert this file to other formats.
The only reason I do not chose LRF files is for the reasons listed above.
