What are the pros and cons?
Flashing ROM/gapps/modem. Etc

For modems/roms/kernels, CWM and TWRP are personal preference. I don't believe there are Odin versions of the JB modems available, just ICS, so it can't really be compared. I am a recent convert to TWRP and I find it is great and allows me to name backups prior to making a backup. CWM is reliable and just as easy. Although backups are improperly dated on CWM, same for TWRP if you forget to manually name it, but it's a personal preference thing really.
Odin is Odin. There when I need it but hopefully I don't need it.

I use Odin when I'm bricked. Only then.

If I installed both, what would happen when I reboot into recovery? Will I get to choose one over the other upon booting?
You can't install both

Whichever you installed last would be your recovery.

Thank you guys. These two recoveries are both great and similar. But I like to use CWM especially the new touch version.
Twrp is better than classic cwm in my opinion, didn't try the touch one

I backed up my custom rom via cwm. It produced many files of. Tar extension. I want to flash this rom again how can i use these files to flash the rom

Go to CWM and restore your backup.
Agree with above, if created with CWM then use CWM once again to restore.
Cant it be made a single flashable zip?

You have to boot into recovery and use that to restore. It automatically extracts all files and does everything for you.
I think it has to be in /sdcard/clockwordmod/backup/
I think...

My fiancés rocket got updated to the newest firmware, with the ucli3 modem and now experiences issues with connection in certain places.
My question is, can I simply root her phone and flash a new modem over her stock rom? I'm pretty sure I can, I just need to make sure... She'd kill me if I messed up her phone lol.
Thanks

those thread have the things u need to put on a custom recovery
1st post in the 3rd link has different radios for flashing.
Yup you don't even need root. All you need is a CWM ODIN tar file to flash a custom recovery via odin and then you can revert back to the old modem.

After spending a vast amount of my free time on the Verizon GS3 forums, I seem to always see people using Odin to root their phone. I never used Odin, and the method I used was much simpler, so I as to why Odin seems to be the most popular
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
That because the method you likely used was for ICS. Since JB, those old root exploits were patched and presently the only way to root involves using Odin to flash the prerelease bootloader. That's why you see Odin referred to as the go to for rooting.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Depends on if you were going to JB or not, and if you flashing stock builds or custom ones. In my opinion the method to do it is easy either way. For just wanting rooted stock and minimal installs Odin probably is best. But for custom builds I wouldnt use Odin.
I still don't know what Odin is honestly. Ha ha. I'm rooted and unlocked, to be clear.

Im on the latest twr 2.6.3.0 but it does not read my backups idk why so now i wanna go the CM recovery.. What are the proper steps for this would i loose all my stuff.. Txts apps app data like my bookmarks etc
CWM and TWRP are incompatible so you can't use TWRP backups on CWM or vice versa. You can download Rom Manager and flash CWM through that. If you want to keep your backups then restore TWRP nandroids one at a time, switch to CWM, then perform a backup.

You can try to use philz touch recovery, it can also restore TWRP backups.
