The one I liked the best was (of course) the Kindle 3 just because of the (seemingly larger) screen size and overall style. I did not like any of the B&N nooks. I like the idea of the larger screen of the Kindle DX, but of course it is way out of my price range and it seemed to be slow to page turn compared to the Kindle 3. I haven't tried any 3rd party e-ink readers, so I don't know what they are like.
I haven't had any issues with my nook Simple Touch locking up, and I don't personally know anyone who has. I believe there might have been an issue with some early review units and some edge cases, but it isn't something I've seen as a major issue.

The screen on the kindle and nook are also exactly the same.
