I don't know that there is best. They both do it. I'm a new user of recovery in general, and I chose cwm. Twrp seems to have a tad more under the hood, like a keyboard built in, but both will get the job done for you.

Twrp is a lot faster at doing backups

I had put my transformer back to stock for the ICS update. I have now installed that and rooted but I do not have recovery. Powering up while hold down vol does nothing. What is the correct way to flash that?
After I get that I want to flash a kernel to OC again.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

You can find Roach2010's CWM Recovery installer APK floating around the forum, or there is also Rogue XM Recovery that works. I have not experience with that one. Roach's you can just install the APK from the tablet and you are good to go.
Also, some searching around the forum you would note that ASUS has not released the kernel source. This means that dev's cannot compile a custom kernel, and no OCing for ICS yet.
Thank you.
I did search and just thought I was wrong about the kernel.

Rogue XM Recovery is the preferred recovery. Much better than Roaches.
ICS Kernels... don't exist until ASUS releases source for ICS kernel.
RecoveryInstaller (both version)

I tried both and the apps just freeze...
Any other ideas? I need my cwm back!!!
Whatever you do, DONT use the one that comes with ROM Manager off the market.
It caused mine and a couple of others to bootloop recovery.
If you have B60 and below series, you could NVflash Rogue recovery. This is what I did to install CWM after updating to ICS.

And some of the early B70 builds too. Mine, for example.
Asus TF300T
CURRENTLY:
Stock ROM JB OTA
Have several recovery images I have been using with Fastboot via unlocked bootloader.
I have tried both TWRP 2.2 and CWM recoveries to flash various roms. I've tried Hydo, CM9 & CM10
NONE get past the first asus logo. I never get past the device is unlocked message with asus logo and the nvidia tegra logo lower right.
The only way to get past the bricked stage is to fastboot the stock blob file from the asus zip.
HELP!
holy crap me to PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!

Hay i have the same problem i am unlocked,stock JB,rooted but i cant get any custom roms to load past asus device unlocked screen my thoughts are that the bootloader is not truly unlocked. My device is tf300t with latest OTA U.S. JB.
I've read about something to do with partitions. I just haven't found enough info. The boot loader is unlocked though. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to enter fastboot.

It's because the bootloader partition from JB update is incompatible with all non Asus JB and ICS images. Unfortunately there is no way to downgrade because of no working nvflash, so you're stuck with Asus JB or Hydro JB for the time being.

Pitrus is correct. If you have done the OTA there are presently only 3 custom ROMs available to you: JB CleanROM 2.0, JB Blue ROM and JB Hydro 3.4. All others bar stock are incompatible with JB bootloader.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try one of those out. Any suggestions?

Absolutely was my problem. So any advice about running other Roms? Can we flash boot loader to enable non Asus roms?

Clean Rom 2.0 very nice!
Hey guys,
So I recently did the procedure to enable NVflash on my TF700, and flashed the AndroidRoot bootloader in the process (over my stock .26). Unfortunately, I forgot to make a backup of the bootloader before doing that.
My question is, is there any way I can get back to a stock .26 bootloader now? A bootloader image file I can download somewhere? I want to do so to get back to stock .26 firmware and then upgrade to stock Jellybean.
Thanks
I'm really curious as to *why* you'd want to do this... If you just want to get to Jelly Bean with the stock bootloader, you can download the full JB firmware from Asus now (it's a FULL install, not just an upgrade like the OTA was) - it will replace the bootloader as well.
I just can't think of any valid reason to revert to the .26 bootloader just to get to get back to the stock bootloader in order to upgrade to JellyBean/stock bootloader.

So can I just run the Jellybean installer to return my tablet to stock (keeping bootloader unlocked of course)?
By the way I have TWRP recovery. So I need to change to stock recovery first to run that file, right?

Actually, just installing the stock JB image from Asus will replace your bootloader and your recovery, so no need to change to stock recovery first...

But I can't find a way to run the ASUS update, since I have TWRP recovery (seems like it requires a stock recovery)... If I start the update from within Android, it just takes me to TWRP. How do I run the file?
Never mind, I just tried installing the ASUS update file from within TWRP, to my great surprise it worked! I thought it was going to brick my tablet, honestly (I have an NVflash backup so no worries). Well, I'm happy, thanks for your help, jtrosky.
i have a TF300t upgraded to stock 4.2.1 with bootloader unlocked, with twrp 2.4.4.0 rooted, trying to install the cleanRom 3.4.6, successfully installed but was not able to boot (stuck on boot screen), i read on another thread that it is due to the bootloader of the 4.2.1 is not going to work with the rom. is it that if i install the CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.3b4 ROM then it should boot fine?
Yes mate you need to use cromi-x on that bootloader

I did exact the same thing, installed cromi-x (without the patched kernel option), install successful, but it sill doesn't boot.
any idea?

This question might be posted somewhere else, and if so, I apologize.
I recently unlocked my TF700 and installed cwm. I didn't realize this would disable the OTA updates. Is it possible to re-enable the OTA updates while keeping cem installed? If not, what is the easiest way to uninstall cwm and re-enable the updates?
I am currently running the 10.6.1.14.8 firmware with a US sku.
Thanks in advance!

After unlocking you will not be able to receive OTAs anymore, not even if you flash back a full stock firmware. Unlocked bootloader = No more OTAs

Thanks for the quick reply. Will it still be possible to upgrade the firmware and still keep root?

Yes - but why would you run the stock firmware if you are unlocked and have a custom recovery???
Both CM roms or CROMi-X run circles around the stock rom.
But if you insist on running stock: You can flash the latest Asus firmware in your recovery (full disclosure: I have only used TWRP, don't know anything about CWM but assume it's the same - research it though).
CWM will be replaced with the stock recovery if you flash the full firmware, so you have to flash CWM or TWRP in fastboot again, then you can flash a Superuser package in your custom recovery to gain root.
But it would be so much easier to just flash a custom rom from your current setup - any specific reason you don't want to try it?

You can forget about all the root keeping hassle after unlocking, you will be able to root anytime.

It was more a curiosity thing than anything. I haven't had much time lately so I was sticking to what was familiar. Once things slow down, I plan on playing around with custom ROMs to see what I like best. Do you have any recommendations?
