I'm halfway through implementing this as a pair of float methods.  Are there
compelling reasons to prefer math module functions over float methods, or
vice versa?

Personally, I'm leaning slightly towards float methods:  for me, these
conversions are important enough to belong in the core language.  But I
don't have strong feelings either way.
