Using Sigil to get the best I can out of pictures

I have a few questions for experienced Sigil Users.

1) If you have a book with many illustrations, what image type do you prefer in order to make the size of the book manageable?

2) How many versions of a book do you make in order to be accessible across differing size screens? Are there some code ideas to minimize the necessary number of versions? Here I don't mean the difference in file type (epub/azw3) but the difference in brand peculiarities/screen size.

3) Can someone share with me the code they use in sigil to make sure that their pics are most adjustable to differing dimensions on e-readers vs all the different tablet shapes/sizes? Right now I have a few options.
a) make everything as if it is for a typical e-reader and keep that image size
b) make 2 versions...1 for typical e-reader the other for larger screened tablets
I am doing this because the larger image is crisper/more pleasant, which looks nice on the tablet, but some e-readers won't auto-resize so the image doesn't fit, therefore the smaller image version.

4) I have tested using the <svg> that Sigil uses to create its covers to help with some of the issues above, but I am looking for advice if this is optimal or if there are better ways to deal with the optimization of images across devices
