OVERALL: Draw

If you want the "Extended version" of the film, all of those releases are basically the same, save the dubs and subs.

If you want the original version, any of the other releases will do.

General notes: Apparently De Palma has confirmed, that he did oversee the new cut of the film (which he originally wanted us to see back in 1989). It seems that not all of the "Deleted scenes" are included to the "Extended version".
