there are some recommendations in a small book by Ellen Swanson, it's 
called mathematics into type (I think, it's in my office), some of the 
recommendation can be seen in my LaTeX book in chapter four (Kapitel 4), 
the book is in Danish, but loaded with examples.

under the beta versions, and no, there are no plans to create an English 
version of the book.

Also the algorithms used by the breqn package are build on the same 
principles
