Clockwork Mod. To flash or not to flash? Running: Verizon HTC Eris (No service) with the recommended Cyanogenmod for the device + Amon RA recovery as prescribed by the gscript lite method of rooting found in the "Universal Eris root for dummies" guide (the one with step by step pictures)

When i got the CM7 rom up and running i was looking through the preinstalled apps and found the rom manager. inside was the option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". From what iv gathered online (CWM > AmonRA)... Is this so? Should i use this option? I fear that by breaking my current recovery in an attempt to upgrade i will brick my device... Should i do this?
This is entirely up to you, and your personal preference.

There is one thing I would suggest though: do not use ROM Manager! It has a nasty history of damaged devices.

I would suggest that you go with either CWM or TWRP, if it is available for your device. I would suggest you flash it using fastboot, if it is available on your device.

If it isn't, then you should see forums such as xda-developers for info on how to flash recovery images.
