Hi,
A combination of:
Receive your own posts to the list? --> Yes
and
Avoid duplicate copies of messages? --> Yes
produces the desired behavior of avoiding duplicates while still
receiving copies of your own messages.
On the subject of default "reply-to" behavior, my preference is to be
set to reply to the list as most list discussions are not meant to be
private exchanges. Having said that, I don't think there is a "right"
and a "wrong" way to do it, just personal preference.

P.S. It helps that my MUA (KMail) is smart enough to "reply to" the list
when it detects list-related headers.
