Either works. My preference for epub is based on items such as kerning, ligatures and font rendering which are not going to even be noticed by most people. The only time I use kepub is the few books that have images that are high enough resolution that I want to be to zoom them while reading. Generally, you can tell those books in my library by the sheer size (one ebook jumped from 0.6MB to 53.3MB when I embedded a high resolution map which was downloadable from the author's website).
As for the book covers, I download higher resolution covers and then generate covers at my preferred resolutions from them and use the ModifyEpub plugin to embed them as the last step in my import & cleanup routine. This keeps the thumbnails on my Kobos around the same size since they are generated from the cover image embedded in the epubs.
My work flow is basically the ebooks are imported into my Intake library, metadata, covers, etc. are cleaned up (this often involves using either Sigil or the calibre editor) and then the ebooks are moved to my Main library.
