When I do convert to AZW3, it is always a MOBI that I choose for conversion (because I understand that converting an epub to azw leaves a lot to be desired).

Personally, I've found that epub to azw3 on the average is the better conversion path as they are a lot closer than mobi is to either.
OTOH, if you are not happy with the results of a mobi to azw3 conversion, try sending the unconverted mobi to your Kindle or even open it with calibre's built-in viewer. Surprisingly often, the format and layout are lousy in the original and so you get GIGO. Alternatively download a sample from Amazon and compare those two versions.
