I have both and can say 'either one is a good choice'.  Since I've not
gotten around to purchasing the Manx SDB, I can't say just how much it's
availability should influence your decision.  I know dbx/dbxtool on my
Sun has been a 'life-saver'.  However if I coded better, I'd have not needed
it in the first place! 8^)

Again Lattice is THE official C compiler for the Amiga.  But the best advice
is go with your wallet's suggestion.  They are both fair development systems.
(I say 'fair' because niether(SP?) has a global optimizer yet, but then
niether does my Sun.... 8^)  )
