In the end it depends on how you use your e-reader and your own preferences. I don't like the original PocketBook reading software and I don't like the Kobo reading software either. For regular reading I use KOReader on both, and I personally prefer to use it on PocketBook devices because of some of the "details" I get from their system (although I recognise that it is a minority choice among KOReader users, who prefer its better adaptation to Kobo devices).
For the little I use the original reading software, I find it more convenient to use PB Reader than fiddling with patches and NickelMenu. Because of the way I use e-readers, Kobo devices occupy a distant place in my preferences, not because they are bad or worse than other brands' devices, but because I find them terribly uncomfortable. In my particular case, Kobo devices have fallen into a no-man's land. If I want to use simple but flawlessly executed software, I prefer Kindle. If I want software with lots of customisation options I prefer Onyx, and if I want to use KOReader I prefer PocketBook. So, by exclusion, Kobo has been left in a middle ground that doesn't bother me but doesn't particularly appeal to me.
