At least with em, everything looks nice and consistent.
The problem by using "em" is that -since your tables will have a fixed width- when the left margin increases (because the user changed the font size) then the right side of your tables will exceed your right margin. In other words, you'll reproduce the problem you posted here:

Think about it

Regarding your new issue with long tables under ADE, could you post an epub with one of those tables?
