Shutterfly or Mixbook?

I want to make a picture book for my guest book. Both Shutterfly and Mixbook have a few guest book templates. I personally have never used either, and I'm wondering if any of you have and could give me some insight. Which one prints the best, best quality, greatest value, etc?

Thanks!

    I made a photobook on Shutterfly for the first time this summer. It came out great! I would definitely recommend them. I've never heard of Mixbook though. My SIL also gave me a site that offers a lot of good deals, but might not be as user friendly (at least IMO) as shutterfly called www.artscow.com

    I'm considering making my parent albums on shutterfly as well to save some money on my photography budget. Hope this helps

    Last time I made a shutterfly book, I wasn't thrilled with the quality. They use press printed paper, so it's flimsy and the colors did not look good.This was a couple years ago, so I don't know if they offer something more substantial. I haven't heard of mixbook, but you should look into adorrama...not sure if they make guest books, but I made a photobook with them and was pleasantly surprised of the quality. Hope this helps :)

    Neither!  Use Blurb!  We used them for our guest book and it came out beautifully.  We had a dustjacket wrapped hardcover coffeetable sized book, with beautiful glossy pages, and it only came to 34$ for ~75 pages.  We got more comments about it than anything else!  They have easy to use layouts, and you can design it any way you want.

    I have used Snapfish and have always had great results.

    Thanks ladies! I'm going to check into the others that you all suggested. We have our engagement pictures on Oct 1st and I want to use those pics for the guest book.
