Lead assignment best practices

Our company is new to Marketo and SFDC. We are integrating both systems. Before I import all of our existing leads and contacts, I want to create new assignment rules / lead scores for all leads and contacts in both systems using the same assignment names. 

My question:
1. Are there resources on best practices for basic lead assignment "nomenclature?" I.e. when leads go through the sales funnel. anonymous-->prospect/known-->MQL-->SQL, etc.

2. Any othe guidance about SFDC and Marketo lead assignment syncs before we import all of our leads and contacts to SFDC and do the Marketo sync?

1) Check out sirius decisions: http://go.siriusdecisions.com/Intelligent_Growth_Demand_Waterfall This is pretty much the standard for all companies. 

2) Don't over think it too much; just be sure your SFDC profile has all of the necessary fields and double check your field mapping before initiating the sync.
