A few thoughts: When an app is removed from the app switcher, it needs some battery power to reload its data the next time it is loaded. I agree that some apps drain power more than others, I generally leave them alone if I think I am going to use them within, say, an hour or so, or remove them if not. That goes for all apps if I know I probably won't use them for, the rest of the day.
Other things I do: I don't have mail checking for mail until I turn it on, when it is going to check again for mail. I have very few notifications turned on, although that is a personal decision, use them if you need them. Finally, even if you have brightness set to zero, leaving the screen unlocked drains battery. Although I have mine set not to lock, I lock it if I don't need it to be unlocked, even if I am using a program where I can lock it and it not interfere with my using the program. I have set it to lock after a given amount of time, but prefer to lock it myself, except when I forget, come back in a couple hours, and find my battery is down by some double digit percentage. Oh well.
