Oh the answer to that question is ePUB or LIT.

For me it's not so much which format is better but which format provides the most flexibility with the least effort.

For me that is MOBI for several reasons

Mobipocket make great reading clients with great features set making reading a real pleasure.

They also make great tools for creating MOBI files.

The community support for MOBI is great, there are a good amount of tools that allow exporting to different formats or even creating MOBI from different formats.

Also the tools are more reliable and do a better job converting without losing information.

With eReader that is not the case, so far the reading clients are not as sophisticated as Mobi and the community support does not seem to be as complete as MOBI.

BTW you might want to check this tread out.
