Neil you are correct it is very tough to distinguish and really you can not as they are true hybrids in a sense taking the best of both worlds serial and parallel and wrapping them into one with the usage of clutches and electronic control. For the do it your self kind of guy the serial is a straight forward and simple approach to hybridization but one could argue so is the parallel if you are taking Honda IMA approach or GM E-Assist belt style. In my opinion the easiest would be the GM approach it would also most likely be the most cost affective as well as you only need 1 motor/generator.
