My format of choice has been to convert from Lit, usually with great success 99% of the time. Only lit files that were converted to lit from txt or pdf are bad. Lit files created as lit files from the bottom up are great. A badly formatted lit file (like any other) can be seen prior to conversion and should just be avoided. Garbage in, garbage out.
If you add a cover image before you convert to epub even a converted rtf file will have a cover when it changes to epub.
