Neither of them are the best hooker in the world, it says a lot about the standard of our game that either of them have played for Great Britain IMO.
However not sure a debate on who is the best is needed. Clarke is better at controlling the game, and defence, with Higham coming on later as he is more of an impact hooker. They're different type of hookers.
FWIW, I don't think Clarke should have been given a contract extension, as we are pretty much stuck with him until 2011. Someone like Diskin could come in and do a better job for us. I think McIlorum would be a good future signing if we can tempt him away from Wigan.
