Better Oil Stock: Murphy Oil or Devon Energy?

In today's choppy market, many investors are seeking out the relative safety of oil and gas stocks. And it's no wonder. Most energy stocks have a modest valuation and a decent dividend yield -- offering solid value to investors fleeing the lofty valuations and dividend-free zone of the high-growth technology sector.

So for investors looking to put money to work in the sector, let's look closer at two of the somewhat lesser-known names: Murphy Oil (NYSE: MUR) and Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN).
