ePub vs. kePub

I've been reading on a Kobo wifi for years, and have mostly stayed with side loaded ePubs. Now that I have an Aura (or will have a working one when they replace my repeatedly freezing one), I have been side loading some kePubs using calibre to convert from ePubs. I have seen a number of opinions in various posts about the virtues of each format, but I would like to see the opinions of others in one place I can make the most educated decision.

Right now I am likely to stick with ePubs, due to what I see as the pros and cons of that format.

While I like the additional reading stats that I get with the kePubs, I don't like the title at the top. I found through these forums that I can get rid of the header and footer, and don't think I can get rid of the header only in a kePub, and I really like the page numbers at the bottom that I get with the ePubs (particular, aren't I).

So, all of you experiance Kobo users, what do you see as the benefits and drawbacks of each of these format?
