I'd say go with the MGM version.

Nice site.

Turns out Dossier edition is the obvious choice (it includes the other version of the flick), but it's $5 cheaper. Go fig.

Dossier includes Redux and the original version, but it is cropped from the original aspect ratio of 2:35:1 to 2:00:1, apparently a decision made by the cinematographer.  The original DVD doesn't look nearly as good as Dossier, but isn't cropped:



Redux is awful -- do not buy that version.

Too late now, I can live with the crop. I wonder what his reasons were.

Also, with the Dossier edition, you have to switch discs partway through the movie.
