exaltedwombat is exactly right. If you're going to use PDF, you have to assume that you'll need a different copy of the book for each device you want to read it on. Sometimes you can use shortcuts, but you're going to be fighting the format in each case. Also, make sure you don't lose the original LaTeX files because if you ever need your books in another format, PDF is a horrible starting format.
(end rant)
So you have a choice, and you're going to have to sacrifice something either way. Either go with epub and accept that you're not going to like how it looks on the device, or go with PDF and accept that you're not going to have a clean library in Calibre, because the only way to store two different PDF copies of a book is to have two book entries.
If you decide to go with PDF, I would recommend using a custom column to distinguish between the two formats. That way you can easily filter on the column when you want to send books to your device. If you store the format as part of the title as Ripplinger suggests, you lose the ability to filter, which I would consider a necessary part of the process.
