Is this the best selection/translation of pessoa's poems?
I really wouldn't know but Richard Zenith's edition of the Book of Disquiet is the best edition of the book. If you see Richard Zenith on the cover, buy it.

is there much difference betwen Richard Zenith's version and Phillip Pullmans?
Is this anything like BoD?
My understanding is that Zenith's two collections are both solid, and there is very little overlap between them.
Fernando Pessoa and Co: Selected Poems
A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems

So they're two books with different poems, or do they each contain the same poems?

So that means they're not the same works? Also, it looks like the book in the OP was translated by someone other than richard zenith. Maybe there's another version translated by richard zenith, or is that one good?
Reading BoD atm, and it is so fucking good.
Did Pessoa ever have sex though?
Cause if not, that would make him the only wizard in the canon right?

I think so.
He dated Ofelia for more than ten years but people are pretty sure he never actually had sex with her. Just kisses stolen at the entrance of the building where she lived, mostly.
