If it's genuine maple syrup, then there is actually very little information to be gained from the packaging.

Darker syrup will have a stronger flavor and lighter syrup will have a lighter but much cleaner taste. I'm a lighter syrup snob, but the darker is better for cooking in my opinion. Try some of a couple different syrups for yourself.

I find lighter is also a better sugar substitute since the flavor is more delicate. But every house should have both!
