What is the better of the recovery options; TWRP or CWM?

Currently I'm using CWM, but I'm not sure which is better.

If memory serves me right, TWRP allows for bigger sized backups, and I've been told that CWM doesn't play well with backups over 2gb.

I've been wanting to check out the TWRP, but I'm not sure if it will conflict with the CWM I have installed.

Would I be able to use CWM to put TWRP on the phone? Would I have to remove CWM to be able to use TWRP? Or could I just flash one when I want to use it then flash the other when I want to use that one?
