I've been on the e-Ink side of the fence for a long time. Lately, I've bought an iPad2 just because I couldn't find an e-Ink device with a large screen and decent PDF handling capabilities.
I can tell you, reading on iPad is a nightmare. It could be that my eyes are not right, but anything longer than 30 minutes is too long. No such issues with e-Ink.
I've tried white-on-black and any other colour combo, but it just doesn't work for me.

This is my personal preference. I would always recommend e-Ink for reading only. However, in the interest of fairness, this seems to be a very subjective topic. Try both and see what works for you.
