As someone who was too young to have participated in the vim vs emacs wars of yesteryear, I am thrilled to be present to witness the EPUB vs KEPUB wars of today. Thank-you, internet!

Staying on topic, though:

Having tried both, for the average user I really don't think there's much of a difference. I tend to stick with KEPUBs, but YMMV.

Also, unless you have a compelling reason to have SE books in your Calibre library, you could just download the books directly from SE onto your Kobo using the experimental browser. Since my Calibre library was meant to be a reflection of ebooks I had "bought" and stripped the DRM from, I stopped bothering to keep local copies of SE books.
