As an aside, does anyone have a 'best' conversion settings for using on the Kindle Paperwhite (5th Generation according to my account)

Thanks!
If your books are in mobi format already, there is no need to "convert" to azw--just rename the file. They are the same format, with different extensions. That being said, there really isn't even any need to rename it, as Kindles will read mobi files with no problem.
