I like Kindle app myself. It's not really simple process to add your own book in to it (other than bought from Amazon), but I do it anyway since this is my favorite reading app.
Pros: Amazon's large selections of ebook
I like sephia theme
Dictionary integration is better IMO than iPad and Stanza
Doesn't butcher formatting of the ebook
Cons: Since it's not officially supported, adding my own books to Kindle is a pretty tedious process, doubt it if it will support file-sharing via iTunes
Stanza
Pros: Most customizable app out there.
A lof of source to download directly for ebooks, free and paid.
Cover flow view is nice.
Cons: Butcher ebook formatting. In some instance, it's no big deal. But I have the experience when the main body text should be centered, but Stanza insisted it to be left justified.
iBooks
Pros: Pretty (I think that's it)
Cons: Slow (maybe it's because my iTouch is getting older and can't handle iOS 4 + jailbreak)
Wide left and right margin: Really a big deal because it wasted precious screen available to an already small screen.
Can't hyphenate

I blew an entire evening trying to get non-DRMed ePubs into Stanza on my iPod Touch, using the instructions at the Lexcycle web site. I can drag and drop files into iBooks and the Kobo app through iTunes and read them, but not Stanza. But as long as iBooks and Kobo both work I guess I don't need Stanza.

I think you're doing it wrong. Because I can drag and drop epub directly via iTunes to Stanza.
