I like the new "PocketProfile" maps from Mapdana, LLC. Thier reasonably inexpensive, provide just enough info to be useful and could be used instead of the AT Guide or Companon, so long as detailed town info isn't needed.

These maps are good and I used them in GA/NC. Most people on the AT do not seem to carry maps anymore, just guidebooks. Please note maps are still useful and good to have if you run into a problem. Also if you have them others who do not carry them will be interested in "borrowing yours".
Not only are maps great to have on the trail, they're excellent to explore different routes. In some spots you can take an alternate route and not see any one, where you'd be fighting for space on the AT.

It would be ill advised to hike the White mtns. NH without maps.
