If I want to build my own collection of DRM free ebooks, and transfer them to the kindle one way or another (I don't really care how...) can anyone recommend how I should setup the device and why?

I suggest registering to the account used to buy the Kindle. Using a throwaway account is not going to give all the advantages of proper registration. Once registered, if you do buy any eBooks form Amazon, you can download using your web browser and if you are setup to remove the DRM, it's the best way to do itfor Kindle eBooks.
Besides, if you don't register the Kindle and want to us it without Amazon, you might as well return it and go for the Kobo.
Managing eBooks is easier on the Kobo when using Calibre and finding books on the Kobo is easier too.
