Each of these apps has the ability to Flash a ROM or Kernal.
I've been using CWM5 for a while now and while it gets the job done there's a lot of time involved with all the rebooting and reflashing and wiping. I have ROM Manager but haven't purchased the Pro version or Mobile Odin.

I'd like the opinion of people that have used multiple applications and which works best for them and why. I don't mind spending money on an app that will get the job done and done faster/better/easier than CWM but I don't want to waste my money if its not much more of an improvement over CWM.

So what is your opinion on these methods and why? Thanks. =)

I used CWM5 until my last flash (XXLPS on Samsung GS2), I bought ODIN Mobil Pro.
It was very easy, and worked perfectly, even with root access.

But after that, I saw CWM5.0 couldn't launch all functionnalities since cfroot was not used. And recovery mode is really not so full of features than cfroot one.

So for fast flashing, I will use Odin Mobil, but for complete it, I will use ODIN Desktop to flash the cfroot kernel.
