Which one would be better for a guy with very little mechanical background?

I had both for my Speed Triple, they have good and bad in both.

If you have the money, get the Triumph version, it's more detailed, but the major detail is in the engine manangement which you have no reason to want to read unless you have the Triumph "gameboy". For all other repairs and trouble shooting, they're almost the same.

If you get the Haynes, make sure it's got the updates for the alloy rim model. It's the only one I have now.

Get the FACTORY one. Check out my post in the other section

I have both. The Haynes has lots of nice photos, which I think are helpful if you have limited experience. It's relatively cheap, and will give you enough confidence to tackle almost any maintenance job required. If you intend to restore and/or engine rebuild, well the factory manual is a must. I like to read both, especially when torque measurements are crucial.
Why not pop into your local library. I'm sure they have some Haynes manuals, which should give you a fair idea of their products.
