In my experience, Clymer is a better format in general. The books feel higher in quality, and they provide electrical schematics. I'd always opt for Clymer over Haynes. That being said, I've owned Haynes manuals for a number of vehicles and find them quite useful as well.
I was just wondering that myself. I did a search of past threads and went with the Clymer. If you want to spent the extra money the shop manual got the best reviews then the Clymer and then the Haynes.
I always go for the factory service manual on anything I own. It may cost a little more, but I think they are way better. Of the 2 you posted about, Clymer is better than Haynes.
I have found the Haynes manuals to be a disappointment in most cases. They go too far in depth in some things that are not very important or needed. Then on an item of great importance where pictures would be of help there are no pictures. And the information is so vague you have to guess at what they were trying to say.
