IMHO, MapleRead is the one that strikes the right balance between sophistication and ease of use, including background and everything else (fonts, margins, etc.).

Marvin also offers a wide variety of customization options, but its brightness control is system-wide, which bugs me. Hyphen and MapleRead give you the choice of system vs in-app brightness.

Actually, MapleRead gives you more than that now. v1.5 introduced
Reading Dimmer as a convenient way to choose between system-wide and app-specific brightness control, optionally dependent on night mode, good for battery-saving and extra dimming. I really appreciate this convenient feature, as I want system-wide brightness control for day-time reading, and app-only brightness control (for extra dimming) for night-time reading.

Also, Marvin has a frustrating bug where you can lose your page location if you flip from portrait to landscape or vice versa. The only workaround I've found is to lock rotation to prevent flipping. If I want to change orientation, I set a bookmark, change orientation, go to the bookmark, then lock orientation again.

Overall, MapleRead is the most stable app among these three apps.
I am really impressed by its (software) engineering quality.
