Page is a not externally linkable

Prior to posting the new .htaccess file "live", I want my internal linking to match. Currently, all internal links point to the index.html pages, so I know this has to change. My question is which would be better to use in my internal linking structure? Should I use root relative links? Absolute links? Document relative links like the rest of my site? How do you setup a document relative link when it's an index page in the same folder? Would it be ./ ? The bigger question is, if I have some of each on a page (absolute, document relative, and root relative) - does Google even know?
I have a 7000+ page static site on a dedicated server. I recently figured out (thanks to this board) how to add lines to my .htaccess file to redirect all my index.html pages with SSIs to the root of the directories/subdirectories to avoid the Google duplicate content penalty.
