Re: which repair manual is better?
I like the FSM from GM. You can sometimes get them cheap on eBay if you're at the right place at the right time.
EDIT: I'm "old school" and like the paper hard copy versions  .

Re: which repair manual is better?
True that the factory manual is the best bet. They usually go for $100 or more from the dealer. The Chilton and Haynes manuals are equally good for the home mechanic. However, I have discovered errors/faults in some assembly/disassembly instructions in some of them. Also have found some of the illustrations were printed with a negative/backward view. Usually all technical info is correct. They are just limited in detail from the factory manuals.

Re: which repair manual is better?
I've bought many FSMs off of eBay and I don't think I've paid more than $25 for one set.You also have to keep an eye on the shipping charges, and try to see if the seller can send them "media mail" which is usually less expensive.
