I do that too. Since a title can have multiple formats, and each format of that title can be of varying format quality, then some confusion arises whenever there is more than one format for any one title. Also any format previously unconverted by me with my particular settings may produce unknown problems in future conversions. Which particular format is referred to by the format-quality-rating or any format problem tags? To avoid that confusion I assess all formats per title, choose the best format, convert it to EPUB, and fix any problems right away. Assess the result to be sure. Enter format-quality-rating. Delete all other formats, except problem PDFs whose resultant EPUBs are too unfixably annoying. Now there is no confusion of what format-quality related tags apply to what format.
If I decided I needed to keep multiple formats per title, I would want to break those formats out into one format per record and thus have duplicate records except for the varying formats. This would at least avoid the confusion of which format-level tag applies to which format. But to me it would be annoying, unwieldy, and unnecessary.
With duplicate records each containing only one format, I compare, keep best, delete worst.
