Hello Krister, MyWay Classic will be good for saving routes that you'll do regularly, whereas Ariadne will be good for telling you the names of streets as you walk along them.
I haven't tried to use them together, but if MyWay Classic will run in the background, you could have Ariadne keeping you informed as to where you are, while MyWay gives you directions.
