The H2O is currently the highest-end Kobo, so if you want a screen with the best contrast and the waterproofing, and you can afford it, that's the way to go.

On sideloading epubs from a Mac. There are a few ways but here are two:

1. put your books into Calibre, then send them to your Kobo. The biggest advantages of this method, apart from great metadata management and being able to fix issues with the book and being able to run KoboUtilities; is being able to set up your Collections in Calibre (see the sticky thread for details), instead of doing them on your Kobo. It's much easier on your Mac, and the collections will also be there if you ever need to restore your Kobo from a factory reset.

2. drag and drop an epub file onto your Kobo. It works, but offers no perks or special features or refinements.
