Just keep it nice and simple. This is an example of the code I use, just a simple link back/forth:

I second what eschwartz said about the [##] format instead of superscript footnotes.
We had a long discussion about a year ago discussing footnotes:

If you do have the source DOCs, I would recommend taking a look at Toxaris's EPUB Tools:

It cleans and exports extremely clean HTML from any sort of DOC(X). It will save you a ton of hours instead of manual cleanup.
