Help deciding on which SAT prep book to use for 08-09?

so basically I've narrowed it done to three: RocketReview, Princeton Review, and the Official SAT prep book

From what I've read, the RocketReview book seems very good, especially because it caters to the new SAT test. However, since it's relevantly new, not many people know about it and I've heard it has mistakes. Almost everyone I've talked to recommends the Princeton Review book, but it seems like RocketReview may have some new, innovative tips that the Princeton Review lacks. Overall, however, the Princeton Review seems like a safe choice. Lastly, there is the Official SAT prep book. To me, it makes a lot of sense to buy this one, because the practice tests are written by the same people who write the real tests. Yet, I have not heard to many good things about this book. It is probably my third choice as of now. It would be so helpful if you could take some time to recommend a book to me, and also to tell me why that book is a good choice or why the others are bad.

Update:

Also, it might help if you tell me a bit about your experience. Additionally, I am also considering taking the ACTs. So if you have a recommendation for a book for that test that would be great. Thank you so much.
