I go for nice looking, light weight (porous) rock with a nice covering of coralline.
I avoid boulder or brick shapes even as base rock.
I've never cooked live rock. I've always just hand picked fully cured (smell it when & you'll know when it's not cured) live rock from the LFS & have never really had any issues.
I had bubble algae once, I had aiptasia once, but nothing that required breaking down the tank or anything drastic to deal with.
Everybody has a different preference I guess...
