for home improvements.
Home equity loan is one lump sum but fixed rate
heloc is pay for what you use rate is variable but it can be fixed if you take a certain amount out a once
What would you go with?

we went for the HELOC because we wanted to have access to some money from the house but didnt need it all upfront as in a loan.

We just did a heloc-fixed rate to pay off cc debt and free up some money.

Re: home equity loan vs heloc
For home improvements, I say take a HELOC. You might be able to get locked in at a low rate for the first year.
After all your improvements are done and you don't think you'll need anymore, you can take a fixed rate HE Loan to pay the HELOC off with.
Ususally with home improvements, one thing leads to another, and you end up needing more than you first thought. That's why it's good to have the line acessable.
