Maybe not the answer you want, but I frequently refer to both, as well as Quiet Water NY and online resources. Adirondack Paddling is very user friendly and easy to peruse, but it is focused on day trips. Cilley's is better for the logistics of trip planning, but I get inspiration of places to go from Adirondack Paddling. I often locate areas of interest in that, but take pics of maps and pages in both and take Cilley's map with me for navigation in the backcountry. The map is waterproof and has survived a lot of folding and re-folding and stuffing in thwart bags. I think Cilley's doesn't quite go as far south as ADK Paddling. And the Cilley set I got only includes his northern map, so a lot of places aren't on it. If I had to pick, I'd probably get Cilley's with the northern and southern maps. But I'd recommend both if possible (and I'd probably take both over the Quiet Water book).
