Aim for as detailed as possible. This is what you will look at for the entire project. Aim for 200 pages.

For the Actual Table of Contents I would stick with the first one, and then maybe if it was like a section like "Features" where your going to have like 10 - 20 difference features all explained, then I would have a mini Table of Contents just for that section.

When I look at the second version of your table of contents I was confused right away and I wouldn''t have wanted to read any further, however in the first version I could easily see the main sections, so again if I was looking for information on a special feature I could easily see where that section was and then I''d be that much closer right away, once I got to the features section I could see a list of features (or even a list of feature categories) and then choose what I was looking for.

I guess the way I see it would would make it so you read the book almost like you where broswing it on the web.
