I have an Evo 4G and have tried ALL of the Android apps. Obviously Kobo, nook, and Kindle are good if you buy books from their respective stores. So I'll base this on the idea you want to read DRM free epubs on your Android device.
I tried Aldiko, fbreader and Lapunta (plus the ones above from the book stores). At first I liked fbreader the best, because I thought it had more options for customizing. Then I tried Aldiko and it became my favorite. However, neither of those will give you the .epub page number you are on, which really bugged me. Otherwise both seem to have the same basic customization settings. So I would go with Aldiko over the other 2.
However, the nook app now allows you to add your DRM free ebooks to the /nook/My Documents directory..so now I prefer the nook app. It actually lets you choose from many fonts (8), instead of just serif or sans serif like Aldiko and fbreader. And it gives you the epub page number! That means if you use a e-ink epub reader, you can at least easily move between devices by using the Go To page functionality in nook and your device. Sure, not as nice as over the air synching..but its the next best thing.
Note to view the epubs you add to the My Documents directory in nook, you will need to select the Filter menu option in the Book View..then select My Documents. Otherwise your imported book will not show (this works the same on the nook e-ink device)
So I guess my answer is Aldiko or nook..whichever you happen to prefer.
