I've been thinking about this, and have a feature request to make:

1) add a preference setting which specifies the default value for the "used saved settings" checkbox, which would also be used when auto-converting.
2) add the checkbox to the dialog for converting single books (since at the moment you are forced to use the saved settings when converting an individual book).

The default would be to use saved settings, as at present, but awkward people like me could choose not to.
