I don't really think you can call those the most popular. They are the only three ereaders Kobo is selling in most markets. The original Aura H2O is still available in some places, but that's probably to get rid of the last batch made. But, it is a good choice.

I've read several bad things about the H2O concerning usage with Calibre and database corruption which is concerning to me. The Auro One is the most expensive which I'm not wild about (finances and such).
Any comments about the Aura H2O are probably talking about the original version. I don't think there have been enough of the Edition 2 around to see any sort of trends. But, all of the Kobo devices can suffer from corrupt databases. They share firmware, so unless there is a hardware specific fault problem, they should all have the same problems. And, I don't think the Aura H2O was any more prone to this issue than any of the other devices.
