The behavior you describe is what 'Overwrite if Newer' does. None of the sites give update timestamps, just dates. The site is considered 'newer' if it's still the same day in case there has been more than one update in the same day. It also illustrates another reason not to use the FFDL to poll for updates.
'Update EPUB if New Chapters' says it right in the name: it updates if there's new (more) chapters than the existing EPUB. This is the most efficient method, since it only downloads new chapters, but it only works with EPUB.
