There are, in my twisted little mind, no hard and fast rules about much of anything including either or both of your points. My /personal/ preference is to use percent throughout for setting fonts-- I just find it easier, more reliable, and more consistent cross-browser. But sure, no problems with em based fonts as long as you set percent on html to kill the em font-scaling bug in IE. When it comes to layouts, again it is a personal choice borne of my own experience. I prefer layouts that use the entire arsenal available-- a combination using percent/em/pixel combined with min/max width. Fixed with layouts are appropriate in some instances. Percent based layouts work well as long as you mind IE's rounding errors (and I prefer to hold the horizontal scroll bar in check); and em based layouts work fine (I prefer to hold the horizontal scroll bar in check); It is your call.
