Like you said, I've read paper books and never thought, "boy, I wish I could change the font" so I'm most likely going to stick with the awz3 format for most, maybe keep the originals in an archive folder before converting.

It also seems nothing is changed much in terms is tags displayed in Kindle compared to Calibre, I'm going to look into making a TOC book that has all the metadata then use that to search what is on the Kindle, as I generally like to put everything on the Kindle once and then only user Calibre when I'm adding something new.
Are You reading a book with some kind of fixed layout? Because otherwise You can always change the font either in moby, azw3 or kfx. The only difference is that moby - at least the old moby format, I did not check the new format - doesn't support embedded font (useful if You want to read using the font embedded by the publisher, which is often terrible) nor custom font that You installed on Your Kindle.

About the best format: for reading in my Kindle I prefer kfx because of Enhanced Typesetting features, but in calibre I prefer to have also the original epub or azw3 because, as said by @jhowell, kfx is a lossy format. But I have no space problems and I don't have 15.000 books.
