Good latex style for a thesis

Right now I'm just using the report documentclass and headings, does anyone have a favorite thesis style in LaTeX?

I care mainly about:
   titlepage
   copyright notice
   page numbering the prefacing crap with roman numerals
   starting at chapter 1
 
All without much hassle, I've done most of it by hand so far.

Legacy (i.e. printed) books are shitty compared to what you can do with digital, non-Adobe'd text.

Can you do blazingly fast search and grep in books?
Can you diff in books?
Can you set your font, size, style, and colors in books?
Can you copy and paste from books?
Can you modify books?
Can you annotate, modify, and delete annotations in books?
How much space do 4.38 GB worth of text in books take compared to a DVD?
How heavy and mobile is it compared to a DVD?
How much of natural resources is taken for it compared to a DVD?
How long does a book last compared to a Taiyo Yuden DVD?
