As is obvious, "best" for one person or situation is not always best for another. In the end, "best" is a value judgement only you can decide.

I've encountered a similar situation more than once. I suspect that in your case "best" is likely something close to "convert with a good enough method and only tweak those few the absolutely need it, and then only when the flaws are seen".

For me it is to keep the library in calibre as is and only convert, if necessary, when a particular book is selected for reading. Even with a smaller 300-400 book library (mine's small by MR standards at ~2000) it is unlikely that I would read them all before replacing my reader at least once. Such replacement, whether "reader" means device or merely app, would possibly mean a change in format, leaving any earlier conversion waste.
