On my forums I have 3 levels:
Moderator = general moderator of the forum I specify, for them. (basically all these guys can do is open/close threads) and handle 'Reported posts' in the given forum they are moderationg.
In my opinion, my Vet Moderator's are my right hand men, so I have a lot of trust in them, so this is my set up:
Veteran Moderator = It's easier to state what they do not have access to, my Vet Mods are Admin recreates, with no ACP access, but permissions of Admins.
These are what they CANNOT DO as permissions:
Can Give Arbitrary Value Infractions,
Can Hide Reputation from Others(staff doesnt need to hide it),
Can Use Custom Title(admin set),
Can Set Self to Invisible Mode(staff doesnt need to hide),
Can Access Control Panel (is Administrator) - keep mine at no, unless I want them to access something in there,
Can view actual location of user (filepath/url).
This is a must(needs to be a YES) for this group: Can Moderate All Forums (is Super Moderator)
It's quite hard to tell you what YOU need to set for their permissions, without knowing what you want off your shoulders, you know?
I suggest creating a forum for all posts to go too - even if it's for Moderators (if you have it so they handle reported posts)
I currently have them all sent to one Forum that is only accessed by Staff, and once the Post is handled, they delete/mark it accordingly.
I hope I helped some, if you have any more questions or need ideas/comments - I'd love to help.

What I did basically:
Super Moderators = Veteran Moderator
But I think when I first installed VB - I deleted the usergroup 'Super Moderator' - so I recreated a new group off Admin.
