So, is one way better than the other?
The extended driver does a couple of other things when it sends the books. One of them is to enable or disable using full book page numbers for kepubs. Other than that, the only difference is having the kepubs stored in the calibre library and selectivity. For me, this is useful as I can send either the epub or kepub version to the device and compare them.

Is there a reason I wouldn't want to use the kepub?
The two obvious things are that kepubs have the title displayed and per chapter page numbering. Another is that kepubs handle footnotes by showing a popup with a "more" button rather than taking you to another page. As well as these the two reader applications used for the two types have different bugs and handle some CSS differently.

It comes down to a personal preference. Some people hate kepubs and some love them.
