I decided to leave out all of Maynard's other projects because I feel like Tool and A Perfect Circle are his most well-known and devoted bands. So, which band is better in your opinion or which one do you enjoy the most.

I love Tool, but A Perfect Circle is, in my opinion, more focused on the meaning behind the songs. Tool enjoys repetitive riffs and interesting album artwork to make their point. Don't get me wrong, I love Tool's style but it doesn't always work for me as an engaged listener. Also, Maynard seems to focus a lot more of his lyrical talents on A Perfect Circle. You just can't beat his use of melodic vocals and insanely well presented lyrics.
