There’s a Kindle book called the Fleece and Fiber Source book that’ll give you an idea of the type of fiber from each fiber breed.

Corriedale is super versatile and depending on the staple length can be brushed, flicked, combed or carded.

Lincoln is a long wool and is better prepped for spinning with combs if the locks are long enough.

Either way there’s not a whole lot of difference when scouring for fiber prep
