Gary, you said:

"What's the consensus (if there is such a thing) on plural vs. singular table names?"

the correct answer is - BE CONSISTENT!!!

doesn't really matter (at least to me!) :)

Many thanks to all for your feedback and advice! As I suspected, naming conventions are really a matter of someone's personal preference, and what's really important is to keep it standard and consistent.

One [hopefully] last question: What's the consensus (if there is such a thing) on plural vs. singular table names?
