The guides are good for answering why you would want to go somewhere, and what's in the area. That information doesn't change very fast, so older guides are pretty much as good as new guides.
Active Captain is great for current, detailed info on spot places once you get there. But it's spot info only without any area context. It's like looking at a map through a straw - you see what you see, but nothing around you. But online info like AC is really the only way to get current info, current reviews, and other interactive feedback which is very useful.
Put the two together and you have a great set of information to help your trip.
