The best is the factory service manual. You can find them on eBay every once in awhile.

I have always used haynes manuals. Never had a problem, everything to me is explained well and gets the job done.

X2 There is not another manual out there better for your specific vehicle than the factory manual.

X3.
the Hayne's is ok, but having owned six, 1st gen "S" series trucks, i can say there are a few things that are not covered/clear in there, but are a good base for learning a few things/proceedures on your truck.
haven't really looked at one for the 2nd gen's Unlimitedsp, are they really that good?
