Actually, that distinction belongs to the Kindle. The only native formats it supports are TXT and non-DRM'ed mobi.
From what you've said, I'd say Hanlin. The only thing that prevented me from voting for that, was its lack of DRM'ed PDF support, which eliminates the whole library lending thing. My vote went to "other", and if you really need absolute breadth and flexibility, I say Tablet PC.
Or you can trim down your requirements. I changed my requirements from stuff that was more like yours and pared it down to: "be able to read free books on the device; be able to read newsfeeds and/or downloaded content from the web on the device; pdf support". That trimmed-down list let me focus on the fun part of deciding: picking form-factor, user-interface, and color--rather than agonizing between a bunch of readers, none of which that did exactly what I wanted.
And I think software availability is an important consideration. If Caliber didn't exist, it would have impacted my consideration of certain readers.
