Feedback on manufacturing focused searches?

I've been considering starting a search and I'm evaluating sectors. The thing that I keep hearing is to focus on service-based sectors and avoid things like manufacturing. I'm curious to know why that is? I know service-based operations have higher margins but manufacturing businesses seem exciting as well.
I'm also curious if there is a list somewhere of the different types of industries/sectors to look at?
