Which one of these adjectives is correct? I can see that both of them are being used, I’m just not sure which one is grammatically correct.
Are there any general rules to follow as to the use of one against the use of the other?

The basic rules of forming comparatives:
One-syllable words take “er”:
clear -> clearer
sweet -> sweeter
Multisyllable words take “more”:
incredible -> more incredible (not “incredibler”)
horrible -> more horrible (not “horribler”)
Two-syllable words ending in consonant + “y” take “ier”:
happy -> happier
pretty -> prettier
