Em are the best solution for font-sizes, from everything that I know.
Pixels I don't know if pixels should be used at all and percentages from

mis-understanding something.
For box sizing, percentages are based on browser size. But fonts don't work 
like box-sizing. for fonts, 100% = 1em. 120% = 1.2em. 90% = .9em, etc. So which 
one you use is up to personal preference.

How did you calculate 100% = 1em ?
Mostly everyone used, including myself pixels for box sizing, I hope you were referring 
to creating a DIV as in box sizing ? What do you mean by "percentages are based on 
browser size" ?

(although, it would be kind of fun if 100% resulted in letters hundreds of 
pixels high...)

I think percentages are based on their parents size and not the browser.
Correct me if I am wrong.
