I use these settings in BookDesigner.
Font size: 11
Left /right margin : 7
Top / bottom margin: 5
Line spacing: 105
Words: 20

I do not know if all of the above is adjustable in Calibre or not. In my experience BD conversion is MUCH better than Calibre.
The best setting in BD are...
Font size: 10
Left /right margin : 0
Top / bottom margin: 0
Line spacing: 100
Words: 13

The only setting that is not adjustable with Calibre's converters is Line Spacing. But I convert the resulting LRF into LRS and then edit the linespace and then go from the LRS to the LRF and I'm done.

And I do not use headers and/or footers as they waste space on the screen and give less lines per page. I should know the book/author as I read and I'm not bothered not seeing which chapter I am on.
