1) Ebooks available - computers, manga and magazines

Definitely tablet. Magazine experience is not very good on ereaders and most don't even have color

2) Budget - less than $800

For $800 you could buy both with plenty to spare.

3) Able to read long hours without recharging.

The consensus here would be ereader. Depending on the brightness levels, you can read for 8-12 hours on a tablet before needing recharging. Generally speaking, you won't have to charge your ereader more than once a week.
There are more options for large screen tablets than ereaders.

6) Most of the readings will be done at night.

Most ereaders these days come with fronlights, so both. However, if you will mostly be reading at night, that elimates one of the major advantages of ereaders, the ability to read in bright light.
I would suggest one of the cheaper 9+ inch tablets. The kindle fire hd 8.9, the nook hd+ if you can get it in New Zealand, the samsung galaxy 10.1 inch, or the Asus memopad 10.1 inch.
There are also more pricey options at $500+ in the google nexus 10 and ipad, but if you are primarily going to be reading on the tablet the extra expense won't be worth it.
P.S. When reading at night, will you be in bed? If so, the weight of the reader might also be an important factor.
