Since 17.9ppm CaCO3= 1dKH, the ppm method is likely more precise. Is it the type where 1 drop = 10ppm? In the dKH types 1 drop = 1dKH (unless you double or quadruple the volume), so they are less precise than a ppm-based kit. But if you use the pH-kH-CO2 chart, it really doesn't matter which one you use - it is not that finely divided in kH.
