This is a question (discussion?) that comes up every couple of months
here on the list - ultimately, I reckon you'll get as many
'conventions' in use as you've offered suggestions. I think it's very
much down to the individual - and the ease with which other members of
a team (or inheritors of legacy code) can work with your css.

I believe there are strong arguments for creating filenames that result
in logical, human-readable URLs.

Underscores in class & id names are not a good idea - some browsers
don't read them properly, and the styles aren't rendered properly, if
at all... from memory, an early Safari was one such.
