Owning both a Kindle and ePub devices, one thing that is undoubtedly true is that, if you plan to buy commercial eBooks, it's much, MUCH easier to do it on the Kindle (especially the 3G Kindle) than it is on an ePub device. On the Kindle you can browse the bookstore on the device itself, click the "Buy" button, and a minute later you're reading it. On an ePub device, you have to load the book via a PC and it's a lot less convenient.
As far as the actual readers go, both Sony Readers and Kindles are excellent; I'm sure you'd be delighted with either.
