Personally, for my money I'd just invest in a couple lessons with a good teacher who can actually observe your finger movement. No amount of exercises will improve your playing if you exhibit problematic posture, finger position, or strange/excessive motion in your fingers. These are things you can see in a mirror and really get a feel for by practicing legato "slow" fingers with long tones, but for those times when you lose focus during a piece, it's nice to have someone there to help catch you. Also, for that price you could add the tried and true Baermann pt. 3 to your lessons, which has done wonders for clarinetists since the 1800s. I don't think a new method will be a panacea for anyone's technique. The practice you apply towards the technique itself is much more important, and you can think about those same principles whilst playing anything. I'm fond of the Jean Jean Vade-Mecum du Clarinetiste and the Uhl 48 Etuden.
