My advice? Let the music breathe....and you set the example while making people follow you for great fidelity, dynamics and for being yourself.
 
Don't be afraid to be dynamic and turn up the volume knob.
 
Keep your volumes sane, your limiting to a minimum or slightly aggressive when need be....and never worry about any of this stuff again. Trust me on this one. :)

Words to live by, for sure...I think I'll keep a copy of the entire post from Danny on my desk :)

Very encouraged by all of that.
 
Generally, I aim for a level of -6 dBFS on my mixes.  When I 'master' a mix by importing the 24-bit wave file into a clean Sonar project, I aim for a mastered level of -0.3 dBFS for MP3's and -1.0 dBFS for CD 16-bit wave files.
 
I usually export MP3's at 192 kbps - just because:)
