Used LIDO for six years until my employer was won over by a vastly cheaper Jeppesen subscription. Much prefer LIDO, they seem to pay much more attention to keeping charts standardized, information in the same place for every airport, and in my opinion they make more of an effort in presenting information in a readable and organized fashion. Jeppesen copies values and text directly from AIPs without any editorial (every MDA you find is an OCA, even though they nowadays happily call it a DA and throw the responsibility to the operator), including spelling mistakes in the missed approach wording for instance.
Also, they are not afraid to use more colours than black and brown on their charts, and since they are designed for a larger format than the Jeppesen charts they are also more detailed and less cluttered than the Jeppesen plates.
