After a few more days experimenting, I've found that the trouble was that Google's location services was keeping the phone awake way too often even when the screen was off. A simple reboot fixed that problem without me having to disable location services altogether. Yesterday with WiFi and 4G off I was only dropping ~1% an hour like it should. Last night the SMS service kept it awake b/c it got hung up on receipt of a MMS message (I didn't know until I checked this morning) and a reboot fixed that too.

In short, any excessive battery drain you might see is likely due to background services still running and many times can be solved by a simple power cycle of the phone without having to disable features/services altogether.

Take a look to see if you are switching between different radio modes (3g to 4g to roaming) that could do it. if you have a Wi-Fi connection it could use up less battery as you transmit data.

Here are some tips which may help you in increasing your battery life.
Select a shorter backlight duration
Lower the display brightness
Use the AC adapter to charge your phone whenever possible
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use
Certain applications may be drawing excessive battery power. If you are experiencing shorter battery life after downloading an application try uninstalling the application.
Close any third party applications running in the background
Playing music, videos and viewing images in your phone will affect your battery life.
The battery charger shipped with this device is a high rate charger specifically designed for your DROID X.
Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, cause your calls to fail during charging, or cause your phone to continuously power cycle.
You can charge your phone via USB cable but this charging time will vary based on computer specifications.
If battery is low, your phone will not immediately power up when you connect it to a computer via USB. Depending on how low the battery is, it may take up to 30 minutes for the phone to get enough power to powerup.
Some Marketplace applications can drain battery unexpectedly with data requests and processes running in the background. Deleting widgets alone for these applications will not stop the application from pulling the data; the application iteself must be uninstalled or killed temporarily with a Task Manager or App Killer.
