What are the best practices with respect to styling HTML elements using CSS? What's the preferred granularity for styling HTML elements? i.e., do you have lots of

div.searchbox input

div.searchbox p

div.searchbox p.help

OR

input.searchbox

p.searchbox

p.searchboxhelp

Which css code is considered easy to maintain? Is using grid frameworks and reset considered best practice?

Thanks
