I would choose James Stark's brand new (March 2000) Bel Canto: A History of Vocal Pedagogy. A former teacher of mine (Donald G. Miller, of the voice research lab in Groningen, Netherlands, and co-developer of the VoceVista program which is being used at various universities and with the Met Young Artists Program) has written a very thorough review of it which should appear on Amazon.com in the near future. I just checked and the review is not there yet; if this would be helpful to you in making your decision, I'll see if I can get it from him and post it.
