    What are the main benefits of each? I keep seeing conflicting things whenever I search online for information about them.

    I'm talking more about the benefits for recovery, health reasons etc and not for last minute weigh in weight dropping by the way. ;)

    Recovery, I'd imagine.

    Brilliant for that.

    They allow you to sweat out the lactic acid, which increases your muscles' oxygen uptake and speeds up recovery as a result.
