As long as you stick to one algorithm, you should be okay. I find the page count from physical edition is not as consistent since one epub will say that it has 443 pages and another book with a near identical word count will report 386 pages. This is likely due to the influence on page count of the paper size, font size, etc. of the physical book the page count is lifted from. One recent epub had the page count based on the large print edition for some reason.

I agree with this and I also use the Adobe Digital Editions page count. Also, I mostly read ePub using RMSDK on my Kobo. This means the page count I see from the plugin is the same page count as reported on my Kobo. The only difference is if I was to read KePub and then the page numbers would not match.
Once you get used to ADE page numbers, it gives you an idea of how long the eBook is. Also, if you start with an ePub cna convert to KF8, you can get the Kindle page number to match the ePub page number.
