CpHulk vs CSF

Is it recommended to use one rather than both? I find mixed feelings about this on the net. cpHulk seems to take a lot more resources as it uses mySQL? [COLOR="silver">- - - Updated - - - ok found this - was valuable info but maybe outdated: http://forums.cpanel.net/f185/cphulk-vs-csf-241251.html

  cPhulk is a mess. It can lock you out from accessing your own server very easily. Just use CSF. Hopefully they add a feature to cphulk to not lock-out root, this would fix the worst issue with it (locking out legitimate admins during brute force attacks). cphulk will be a bit better once it starts blocking IPs in the firewall, but this is redundant anyway if you're using CSF.
