The Friberg's is indeed Analytical. If you are strong in vocabulary,
weak on parsing, and like to analyse things carefully, the Friberg is
great. The Perschbacher is designed for those who have learned (or are
learning) the 50+ frequency vocabulary, can parse on an intermediate
level, and want to work on speed and comprehension.
Personally, I prefer a plain NT because it's light and easy to use. For
churning through large portions at a time the Pershbacher is really
handy. I use Friberg only for reference when I want to study specific
passages carefully. If I were just beginning to wean myself from an
Interlinear, of the three I think would prefer the Perschbacher.
