I am all about consistancy, if for no other reason than it makes things easier the next time you do it. And where would consistancy be more important than in the build out and structure of your website’s code.
I have recently come across a few great examples on consistant and structured CSS build out. The first method involves a big use of the id attribute.
Stylesheet Sanity, Part 1
Stylesheet Sanity, Part 2
The second method involves starting with a blank CSS file with all commonly used and implimented tags (i.e. em, strong, p, body, html, etc.):

I’m still trying to figure out the best and most logical way of creating a consistant feel across my CSS build out, but I know these articles will help me along my way. Feel free to post any ideas or techniques you impliment in your own build.

I use the browser reset method like this one: http://builder.com.com/5100-6371_14-5435275.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=bldr
I have customized mine a bit, I think, but, overall, it has helped with the frequent hair pulling matching things across most browsers.
