Do you have any advice/insight into picking a category for your app? I've noticed that some of the rarer categories are pretty dead... is the easier path to the top-10 more advantageous than a 'properly' categorized app? How much leeway does Apple give you in picking a category?

It's all about visibility so try to pick a related category that is popular. Apple are pretty flexible with what category you place your app.
