OK, so every time I convert Shadow to SDC I create a new SDC address.

Yes, I believe so

Is this a new private key?

Yes, I believe so. (hence backup again)

It seems like over time I will have hundreds of keys and stealth/public addresses in the wallet.

The amount of stealth addys will not grow unless you create more yourself. You will get a new SDC addy for every Shadow>SDC send. Whether you consolidate these amounts into a few addys is up to you. You can send your new SDC straight back to your original SDC addy with an SDC to SDC send. Personally I'll not be doing that. I have no prob whatsoever with maintaining 2 or 3 stealth (or Shadow) addys and 3 or 4 SDC addys (consolidating sometimes, sometimes not)

Technically you could get by with 1 stealth/shadow addy and 1 sdc addy, but my feeling is having several addys would improve anon. Certainly any SDC addy that has made transactions with merchants and exchanges (possibly reducing your anonymity) can be discarded after a time and replaced with a new addy. This is not an issue for Shadow addys of course.

The wallet also doesn't seem to be able to tell me what coins are associated with what address.

See the Coin Control button in Send. It's there

Ah yes, very nice! I've got this all working now, thanks. Of course this process will still need a little bit of cleaning up to make it accessible to the muggles, but the foundation is there.
