Nook, Kindle, or Sony-which one should I get?

Hey folks. I am currently trying to decide between a Kindle, Nook, and Sony eReader. Things I'm looking for:

-Ease of navigation. I don't want to have a big hassle every time I want to jump to a different page or chapter.

-WiFi only. I don't need 3G for anything, WiFi is everywhere these days.

-Access to most popular titles. This is important, as I really don't care so much about free, non-mainstream independent titles. I tend to go for mainstream fantasy/scifi, like Tolkien, or anything in Blizzard's titles (WoW/Diablo/SC books).

-PDF support. This is a biggie-I have a large PDF library and want to make sure my eReader can either read PDF's or has a method for simple conversion.
-Price. I'm not really looking to spend over 200-though if the Sony has compelling reasons for being more pricey, I might consider the 650.

-Music/web browsing. These are a plus, and the easier they work, the better.

-Durability. I'm a military guy so it matters, though I don't plan on throwing the thing around, heh.

-Aesthetics. This is the least among my priorities-at day's end, the looks don't matter so much. But if it proves to be a tiebreaker, include it.

Things that don't factor in are TTS, Nook's in-store support (I rarely visit the physical store itself), the iPad (too expensive), international support and any unnecessary bells and whistles.

PLEASE help me out here guys! My b-day is coming up in a week and I gotta let my folks know which one I want asap. Thanks!
