I'm thinking about buying one of two books. Exceptional C++ by Herb Sutter or Effective C++ by Scott Meyers. Any opinions on which one is better? Why?

You will probably learn much from both (I did). If you can get them both, and the "More Effective..." follow up books. Some of the areas covered are the same, but many are not. Also herb sutters books pay more attention to exception safety (hence the name).
I have all 4 books and they are definately worth reading.
They both have good series, but if I had to chance one over the other, I would pick Scott Meyers.
IMHO, his books are easier to read.
Scott Meyers has three books, which are all very good.
Effective C++
More Effective C++
Effective STL
I recommend all thee books.
