MobiDeDRM produces a Mobipocket format file identical to the original except for the lack of DRM.

Mobipocket format is OK as an archive format. The full specification isn't public, but enough has been reverse engineered that it's fairly easy to convert back to standard XHTML and metadata if necessary.

Keep it as Mobipocket until you need it in something else. ePUB looks like being the best bet, but although Calibre does pretty good Mobi->ePub conversion now, it is only going to get better with time.
