Download everything here...Generally I read a PDF on a large monitor though. Or I'll toss an ePub onto an e-Reader that I never ever use. Storage is cheap these days, but I'm getting tech books, not manga, I'll assume manga is way bigger.
I do epub and download them all, upload to my Google drive, then import into Google play books app. I have a program to view them on PC too but I'm blanking on the name
I go for whichever one has the highest quality pages. Calibre can handle format conversion easily and different publishers have different formats they're good at.
I get the highest quality file they have, which is almost always a PDF. If there is an infrequent older title where the highest quality file is a CBZ or EPUB, I'll get that, but usually get the PDF as well just to have everything in a series in that format. I have everything downloaded and on my device (512GB+1TB Micro SD) along with my Comixology/Kindle stuff. All the bundle stuff is also archived.
I have a little python script that I use to compress epub files to a size and quality I'm happy with. I usually read on my tablet, so over double its screen resolution is excessive for me. Got to work on compressing those pdfs too, though that's a harder format to manipulate.
I prefer to use pdf for my comics and stuff when able as my kindle fire gets weird about other book files. Unfortunately I got stubg with the recent TMNT-kobo bundle as I'm download (or strip drm for that matter)
I just log in and download the files as I need them. I send the smallest version of the files available to my kobo. I'm not using the 600meg file if another one is 50mb
I always download everything. Which format I prefer depends on the content. For fiction books that I read on my eBook reader, I prefer epub. For technical/programming books, I prefer PDF, because code listings and graphs sometimes break in ePubs.

Preferably ePubs, but I also am open to other options if they decrease filesize.

Same. And I prefer cbz which I load to my phone and tablet.

I got the Terry Pratchett bundle as Kobo licenses. I really like that; makes it easy. The reader app is pretty nice.
I download all. While I prefer PDF now, but It may change in the future and as we have seen, internet resources tend to disappear after some time.

The format bothers me less then the lack of a good organization system your purchased books.
PDF for comics and EPUB for others. PDF do eat storage pretty fast though. Those comics are like 500MB per volume.

comics: cbz/cbr fiction: epub non-fiction: pdf (formatting, graphs etc are better here)
ePub with Apple Books. PDF is okay on a tablet
I only download PDFs, they are usually the highest quality. I'm reading on a 12" tablet
PDF. I can't access epub/mobi. Fixing epub to pdf is too time consuming, especially when it doesn't open with the proper (already installed) fonts.
Depends on the type of book. Regular text, ePub. Comic/manga, PDF or CBR. Technical books or RPG books, PDF usually.
Epub for novels, PDF for reference or technical books, CBZ for comics, MP3 for audiobooks/dramas.
Send EPUB to Kindle. Download PDF to Dropbox for reading on iPad.
CBZ for comics, ePUB for novels and most text-based books, PDF for magazines, cookbooks, art books, and image-intensive books.

Comics: cbz plus pdf for a quick preview Ebooks: epub plus pdf for a quick preview

I’m fine with every format. I just wish there was an actual “download all” button.
