I would also go with www.mysite.com/mypage.html. For some reason pages in the root of the site rank a little bit better (bit could just be coincidence)

It's a coincidence, image you could have more than 100 pages on a site, then it would be much easier for you to categorize them on some subdirectories, so it will be stupid from google to penalize this.

That is mostly true. Google won't penalise you for good use of folders for organisation, but don't go to deep!

Something like www.mysite.com/folder/page.htm is fine, but when you get to www.mysite/folder/folder1/folder2/page.html you'll start to see that SERP's and PR will just magically dissappear.

When I rewrite things that need to be in groups I'll try to stick a keyword in front of the page URL to keep the groups together without folders. Something like...

www.mysite.com/keyword-page.html
www.mysite.com/keyword2-page.html

It's a bit more tricky, but depending on how much effort you are willing to make, it can be worth it to keep it all as close to the root directory as possible.
