I would sum it up as: the kepub reader supports some extra features, but the epub reader does a better job at actually displaying text on the page:
Some extra kepub features such as cloud sync, in-book chapter progress charts, BeyondTheBook (extra content including articles about the author, locations in the story, etc.) only work with kepubs bought from Kobo; others such as popup footnote previews, page header containing the book title, double-tap to zoom images work with sideloaded kepubs too.
The epub reader does a better job at displaying embedded fonts, hyphenation, justification, and works better in full-screen mode.
Edit: My preference has changed since I first got my Glo. In older firmware versions, perhaps up to version 2.8.1, the kepub reader was better than the epub reader. However since then the epub reader has improved (bugs have been fixed) while the kepub reader has become worse overall (new features added, but also new bugs added that affect basic text layout functions like justification.)

Is there a way to turn off the KEPUB conversion in the Extended driver?
Or do we just disable/remove the extended plugin altogether?
I tried looking at the options but the screen for the extended driver doesn't have any choice about conversion, looks like it will always convert to kepub?
