I did quite a bit of searching around on the internet to find opinions when I was buying a prop puller. In the end, it sounds like YMMV. I was interested in the harmonic puller not only because it's much cheaper, but if I ever wanted to consider trying one of the new 5-blade props you have to use a harmonic puller. Anyway, after reading dozens of anecdotes, it sounds like in many cases a harmonic puller will work just fine, and in some cases they don't work and then you're kind of stuck. However, you can also find anecdotes where the c-clamp style pullers haven't always worked either. In the end though it sounds like your odds of trouble-free pulling seem better with a c-clamp puller. People who pull props regularly also seem to recommend c-clamp style puller.
