Sometimes reviews make it clear that one edition is better than the other but when its not so obvious what do you guys generally go with?

there was a similar thread recently.

basically i go with owc if i can because i find their quality is a lot better. the black penguin classics have had bad glue/stitching, easy ink smearing, and the black flakes off. they can both look great though, usually do imo.

Oxford over penguin, almost always.
This is true both for quality and translators.
>>
Oxfords usually have notes in them. So Oxfords, though Penguins are better if I don't care so much for translation or notes and just want a cheap book
>>
oxford >>> penguin = B&N

I much prefer penguin. Oxford books seem very cheap, and stiff, and the ink smudges. Penguin has a much more flexible spine, nicer paper too.

given the choice I usually go with Oxford.
