Some things I learnt:

1) Big projects like Books, should be divided in separate files. In case of a book, a convenient division is by chapters. Create a driver file (also called root file, main file, etc.) which is basically the preamble and \include commands.
2) For OS X, iTeXMac is my favorite (tried TeXShop, LyX, and Emacs) mainly for the following reasons:
a) Short learning curve (relatively)
b) Best pdf synchronization. Allows you to fix errors quickly.

FYI: pdf synchronization works flawlessly (for my book, and other shorter documents) between emacs (in x-windows) and iTeXMac as well.
