C--- is okay. I'll always have a soft spot for it because it was my first introduction to Germany's Thermen, and the facilities are pretty nice in both the textil and textilfrei areas. But the textilfrei area was small enough that I assumed it was the norm and made some planning errors in another Therme later on, thinking it'd be the same. When I went, there weren't many people in there and they were largely on the older side, but it's only one afternoon's observation.
F--- is great, but not especially for the purposes of this forum. (Not entirely a loss there, admittedly: I did get a pretty international set of co-bathers, but there weren't many.) I was surprised that the regimented visit really is as relaxing as advertised and I found it well worth it on that front. It's relatively unique and is better thought of as an attempted recreation of Classical bathing practices than a practical place for modern social nudity like other German Thermen and Saunas, if that makes any sense.
For what it's worth, when I went to a different, much larger Therme later on, I realized that I probably could have skipped C--- but remained glad I went to F---. But the more important point is: if you're in town for one, there's really no reason not to do both.
