What do you think of Chlorella?

Chlorella has been used extensively as a source of phytonutrients. However, spirulina is the most recently tested of the blue green algae. I'm sure they both help but if I had to pick based upon the current research (cited) I would go with spirulina, especially in regards to immunity.
