Every image individually and explicitly positioned
Fully justified text with rivers running through the paragraphs
IMHO none of that fine tuning matters for reading on eReader.
And don't me started
on trying to straighten out (i.e. the way I want it) a book that has been converted by Calibre multiple times:
MOBI --> EPUB --> AZW --> EPUB --> ......
I've gone back and forth as to whether I prefer the second and paragraphs to be indented and how much margin I like after a paragraph. When I change my mind, I just have to mod my 'standard' style sheet (giving it a version suffix) and relink it for the books I want to get to right away

The downside to my setup is that I loose the chapter formatting when they don't use H tags.

Yea, I find that's the most time consuming, so I try to get RegEx to convert things like <p class="ChapTitle"> to real Heading tags. I think Calibre could handle the class, but I can't -- just too confusing
