In my opinion, by far, the best is InternetworkExpert.
This opinion is based on the R&S, I bought both R&S workbook, and its very disapointing the "Proctor Guide" of Ipexpert, because many questions are answered as "This should be self explanatory" and that's all.
Besides the cost of InternetworkExpert is 379 USD and the IPExpert is 499 for the workbook and 499 for the proctor guide, a total of 998 USD.
I know that if you want to pass the CCIE you must know, but in my opinion if you buy a material to study its because you don't know just yet. Consider the Class On Demand of InternetworkExpert too, belive me, its worth the money.
But hey, that's just my opinion. Im sure there is market for every vendor, and Im sure that some persons in this list preffer the IPexpert products.

Subject: CCIE Security Lab Workbook Advice
Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice on workbooks for the CCIE Security Lab.
I'm currently studying for my CCIE in Security and have been looking at both the IPExpert and InternetworkExpert workbooks. I've downloaded the samples from both (the internetwork expert one is the sample lab from the R&S track) but it seems like the Internetwork expert book is provides a much better learning platform.
These books are pretty pricy and I want to get some advice on which is best before shelling out for them.
The Internetwork Expert book seems to have a better format, it gives the lab scenario and then the explanations afterwards show the full configurations which relate to the section, give pointers and I really like the "pitfalls" sections which seem to offer some good advice on things to watch out for. Since this will be my first CCIE lab exam that sort of stuff seems really helpful.
Can anyone offer any advice on which is the better book, I'd appreciate any comments from people on how they've found working with these workbooks.
Thanks
