Helm's no questions asked.

Honda's OEM manual = Helm's manual.

As everyone else said the Helms manual is much better.

Sometimes though, the Haynes is nice becuase they are somewhat geared toward the home mechanic and show different ways of doing things.

Unless Helm's copied it word for word... Honda manuals are made by Honda, not Helms. Why risk using a book that not factory? to save what maybe $5 and worry that the torque specs and sequence are accurate? I know where I'd bet my money all the time.
