Currently, if you are even minimally knowledgeable about computers, format of the ebook should have no influence over where you buy. Only thing that matters then is the price. And you can use calibre to chainsaw (as you said) any ebook.
This is true until Adobe forces the new DRM, when there may well be a significant window of time before it's cracked. In that situation epub ereaders with up-to-date Adobe DRM will be able to read both those locked epubs and (unlocked) Kindle books, whereas those with Kindles won't be able to do the converse. That's what I took arturg to mean.
