Eric,
 
One thing nice about RCL library is that you can do Change Package command  
which brings up a dialog that lets you quickly select new package so you can  
bounce from selecting through hole to any SMD size in a flash. 
 
One thing I did not figure out about Eagle for a while was copying  
components on your schematic is way easier and quicker than using the Add  function.
 
So once you have a resistor, you can make copies and do package changes as  
needed.
 
One thing that would be nice would be the ability to define a net class  
which includes trace width, but somehow connect components with a different net  
class, but on the same net, e.g. If i connect an LED to a ground trace that is  
0.080" wide I only need a 0.010" trace running to LED.
 
Of course you can change width after board has been routed, but what a  pain.
I end up creating little jumper pads between beefy ground/ power traces and  
lesser ground and power traces.
