How can I write a good riff that's simple enough to be the chorus and let the vocals shine through, but complex enough to be intresting if the vocals happen to drop out or something?

Err on the side of simple - think of the opening riff to Smoke on the Water, which is very simple, but which some guitarists will play over and over for hours! Or, start with something simple and add variations to it, like the classic riff in Enter Sandman (music theory related to themes and variations helps with that, even if you're working on a two-bar riff instead of a whole theme).
