Exporting to PDF/X-1a is usually safe. X1-a will also flatten transparency. So you can use transparency in your design and it'll be correctly converted to a flat image in your output PDF for print purposes. X1-a will also remove interactive elements (e.g. scripts) in the PDF that aren't necessary for print.

I would not optimise for file size, since (unless you're very careful) that can affect font subsetting and downsample your images too much for good print output.

Here is some detail from a Createspace prepress staffer.
