David had listed many sites but you may wish to add my site or my test 
pages to the list. Eventually it should be quite a large CSS resource.

Best:

a. Avoiding complicating your CSS and HTML with non necessary code. Less 
is better.
b. Allowing the default values of elements to help with the layout of a 
document.
c. Using the semantic nature of elements in the layout of a document.
d. Waiting for the implementation of CSS3 for those fancy effects.
d. Off-line testing of all the above over and over.


The worst practices is opposite to the best practices.

Apart from mentioning resets also talk about why resets were done in the

values [1] when IE5~IE6 was the most common used browsers. Many of the 
senior members on this list do not use CSS resets.
