messiah or magic 3??????

[uk-haj]

hi all.
just bought a ps2 V5 or more. and am wanting to install a mod chip. but before i do i was hoping to get advise from you in the know as to which is the best chip to install. through research i done on the net i figured the magic 3 was the latest and easiest to operate once installed and can do everything, play backups of both games and movies, and imports of both as well. but going through the file forums i see alot of support for the messiah 2.
what are its features and which is better feature wise and d-i-y install wise.

cheers guys
