2. Is the H20 touch screen good enough for page turns or is it limited
3. Which has better "homebrew/development" support
4. Are there any disadvantages with the extra screen real estate on the H20 for reading purposes, ignoring device dimensions as that does not bother me.
5. Judging by my write up, do you have a device you would recommend

1. You might not be able to jailbreak. Amazon is plugging the holes. Depends what firmware version comes installed as to if you can jailbreak or not. You might get annoyed by a Kindle if you don't jailbreak. Few options, very fixed layout (can't decrease the margins or line height). The H2O has patches to customize it's settings and it's very easy to do and works well.
2. Yes, the touch on the Kobo is IR and works well.
3. Depends on the firmware for the Kindle. For the H20, take a look in the Kobo Developers Forum and see if what you want in terms of homebrew exists.
4. There are no disadvantages to the extra screen space. You might be able to read with a smaller font. But even with the same size font as you'd use on a Voyage, you get more text on screen. And with reasonable settings, the more text is noticeable
5. I would go with the H2O unless you have some real reason to go with a Voyage. From what I've been reading on MR, the H2O's light is more consistent then that of the Voyage.
