depends on what you are looking to do with your car/motor...

Haynes and chiltons are pretty basic... helms goes in to much detail with torque specs, major trouble shooting, etc...

You get what you pay for. My Haynes manual tells me that to remove the fuel pump from my del Sol, I should remove the rear seat.

They are factor service manuals for a specific year/model/car.... They are called helms manuals, because helms is the company that prints them.... but they are really just reprinted honda service manuals.... haynes sucks.... if your going to spend any money, get a "helms"
