Both are about the same. I've used both today while rooting my Evo. The only difference I came across is that Rom Manager, an awesome tool, required Clockwork in order to do anything. However, I'm running the Fresh ROM, and it isn't possible to directly apply any changes through Fresh Updater with Clockwork installed; the whole thing went to hell and I had to do a nandroid restore.

I prefer the latest clockwork atm because I actually has "back" menu options and backs up my ext partition on my sd card.

I use to prefer Clockwork because of how user friendly it was in comparison, and how you can search through every folder on your sdcard. But now I found that it doesn't completely factory reset your phone and wipe your dalvik cache. Amon-RA is what I have been using since I have found this out.

The clockworkMOD was updated a few days ago. I am sure that this problem you claim has been fixed.

You can download the update with the Fresh Updater, Click on apply later. The open Rom Manager and install from SD.
