Returning to optimizing pages (been a couple years) I'm trying to once gain determine the importance of the head tag?
Who still tracks it?

As in the <head></head> part of a webpage?
Aside from the content itself, it's the most critical part of a webpage - for one thing, that's where the <title> tag goes, as well as javascript coding, language determinators, CSS include files and tons of other things.

<h1> <h2>, etc
Still very important.
Don't over do it.
The H1 tag should, as a rough guide, about the same as the title tag.

I not a google expert but, I assist on building spiders for smaller companies. Here we rate the page title very high, and the h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 also very high but in descending order, and not as high as the title.
So if you weather to use a plain div and some style for a headline or a h1, I strongly suggest using the h1 or h2 tags instead. My impression is that google is rating the text higher
Hope i can help
