I've also settled on this one as the least sucky.. There are still some issues as you can't easily see your comment history, and there's often a bug when you click a story directly, you can't see the content..

But again, its the least sucky I've found

I’ve tried it, yes. It does indeed rank towards the top in terms of non-suckiness, but it fails one of my criterions on account of not having a native iPad version.
