I am reading my first book in ePub now,
It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis. The page numbers that many MRers complain about are there, but I hadn't noticed them until I got to about page 90, which was a chapter opening page. Then I looked for them on subsequent pages and saw them; then I went back to reading and haven't noticed them since.
The second problem MRers have complained about is the ragged right margin. Yup, this book has them but it isn't annoying. In fact, I don't even notice the margin. However, in this book, paragraphs are indented and there is a nice margin around the page (I like white space).
I'm saying all this because the real answer to your question is that I have no preference. If the ePub is done correctly, I find it as easy to read as LRF/LRX. Similarly, poorly done LRF/LRX is as difficult to read (again, to me) as ePub is to those MRers who dislike the page numbers and ragged right margins. Bottom line: it depends on how well the book creator did his/her job.
Sorry I can't be more definitive, but I am much more bothered by poor editing than I am about substellar formatting. the books I read on my 505 are fiction and not books I intend to keep once read. (Having said that, I do plan to keep my first edition pbook of
It Can't Happen Here, just not the ebook version.)
