I've long been wanting to make a web page that is exactly what you describe--sort of a decision tree for when to use what options depending on what you want to do with your PDF. I've just never gotten around to it.
I think the main decision to start with is if you want to re-flow the text. If you want to re-flow the text, it sort of sends you down one set of options, whereas if you don't, and you just want to crop out various areas or trim margins, that sends you down another set of options.
Honestly I think the best thing you can do is post a few basic examples of the kinds of documents you want to convert for small screen reading and I can give you advice if you like. You can PM me docs as well.
The
video on my web page, though dated, does walk through three types of conversions. It focuses on the MS Windows GUI, but if you keep your eye on the "command-line version of options" box, you can see how the GUI selections translate into command-line options you can use in Linux.
