I'd prefer the covers I generate with the GC plugin.
As promised, I have looked into this.

I'm not very keen to move the GC step to before epub generation. Going after epub gen, GC can include {Current Cover}, so if there's a story specific (or site default) cover image it can be included.

Nor am I terribly keen to add a second pass to insert the cover image after the epub is generated. I think my earlier suggestions are probably the best:

Quote:
In the meantime, if you use the default_cover_image feature, the epub will have a cover, if not the right one. Then, if you're using calibre to send the epub to your device, calibre will replace it with the current cover.

Also, the latest beta of the 'Modify ePub' plugin can insert as well as update covers. I expect that the official release will be out in a few days.
