Well, I'm with mobi because I use the Kindle app, but I've most of my books in epub as well. I tried Marvin, the managing tools are fantastic, finally a way to mark books as "read" and "to-read" inside the reading app, and the powerful tag system, all features I love from Calibre and terribly lacking in Amazon's app. Unfortunately there's the huge downside, at least for me, of a weaker dictionary and highlighting system.
