A simple way ive used is to look at the origianl chord progression and see what takes place when a verse is repeated. Usually there is a turn around (a thing designed chordally to take you back to the beginning of something). I take whatever that turn around was chordwise and experiment with its chords to see which eases the transition the best.

Somtimes i just use harmony chords from BOTH keys im working with. If there are related or shared chords in both keys you are wrtinting in sometimes you can HANG on that shared chord and make the transition.

and good tone and all that? I'm researching these in the event

It's easy if you think ahead a bar or two. Shift toward playing over a chord that is dominant to the new tonic, then resolve. Boom-- done. Of course, remember that tritone-substituting the dominant is always kosher, too. :)
