For omnibuses, my pattern is <h1> for the omnibus title, <h2> for book titles and <h3> & <h4> the same as single books. Any backmatter that survives gets <h2> as well just to help with the indentation.

I think the key is to use the Heading Tags based on the area the item covers. Use H1 for an item that covers the entire book, like the title, and H2 for a subtitle for the entire book. Then go down the levels such as H3 for Sections, H4 for Chapters, H5 for Scene Changes, and so on.
What I do, instead of using the standard styles, is I use styles with descriptive names like "Chapter Heading" and "Change of Scene." The only issue with that is it might create issues when creating an ebook in the EPUB format. In that case, I could only use the standard styles (Body Text, Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on) and modify them rather than creating custom styles.
