There's a whole forum devoted to the subject of reader comparative merits right here:

You can get a good start here:

To date, only the Hanlin V3 (I have one) and V5 even pretend to support MS Reader format (they do but its flaky, so far).

Many support all your other listed formats. The Hanlins support all of them quite well. I also have a Pocketbook 360 and it supports them *great*.

Study the Ebook Reader Matrix and check out the hardware features that interest you and go to the appropriate forum. Help is readily available.
Of course, if battery life is not a big issue, you can get *excellent* support for all your formats using a small UMPC (the likes of which can be found at Dynamism and elsewhere) along the lines of the Viliv 5 or 7 or an Archos 9 or asus T91.
Alternately, if you find a reader gadget you like that (alas) does not support one or more of your formats, you *can* easily batch-convert them to a supported format with Calibre.
You have lots of ebook reading options.
Let the hunt begin!
