Sorry to be late on this (start of school year, very busy, 6-8 weeks solid
with no time to read *any* non-work related emails...). But to answer the
question, yes, it's best to avoid type="image" for standards-compliant (and
browser-compliant) solutions. Sure, the default button set can be ugly (FF
users on Mac will put their hands up here), but they're reliable, and at the
end of the day that's what counts.

If you want to replace a button with an image, the <button> element is the
better way to go. You can define a graphic source for it and give it a
type="submit".
