I have several friends and co-workers who own Kobo ereaders and also use the Kobo app on iOS and Android. A book purchased from Kobo and downloaded by the ereaders and apps will synchronize the reading position so I see no real advantage to using a Kindle under those circumstances.
This does not happen with books not purchased from Kobo so a point in favour of Amazon though that does require me to use email/Send to Kindle so Amazon has a copy of the book. Since my personal preference for 90% of my books is to sideload via USB, neither Kobo nor Amazon will synchronize reading position between devices.

In my experience, I haven't found it any more difficult to deal with Amazon or Kobo other than the time that my ebooks were booted from Amazon.com to Amazon.ca which results in a 6 hour phone call trying to convince the $%^&*}s that I wanted either a full refund on or the replacement of the ebooks that were removed from my account with copies that were from publishers who had the Canadian publishing rights. An experience that I ranked up with dealing with Beastly Tel back in the days of yore for unpleasantness.
As usual, YMMV.
