What's a safer choice, Valium or Klonopins?

Please don't lecture me on how all benzodiazepines are addicting and dangerous, I already know the risk. Anyways I've been prescribed Valium for a few weeks now but may want to try something else. Valium seems to linger too long and leaves me feeling burnout. What are the differences between Valium and Klonopins and what are the advantages/disadvantages?
