For the original trilogy, it would be Harmy's Despecialised version since it still remains to be the best quality for the OUT yet. At times I will watch Adywan's Revisited edit for A New Hope for the incredible things he has done to it and intend on watching Empire Strikes Back whenever he finishes it. I've now gone to a point where I find the entire Special Editions unwatchable, so I refuse to buy another set of the originals until the OUT is ever released which'll unlikely happen.

For the prequel trilogy, I've gone back to the original cuts surprisingly after buying the Blu-ray set. For the last few years I did watch ADigitalMan's and Magnoliafan's fan-edits which were great but I sort of drifted away. I still have a soft spot for the original cuts, though at times I still rolled my eyes at some of the stuff like Yoda vs. Dooku, whenever midichlorians are mentioned and Jar Jar is being annoying. Now that I have watched the Blu-ray set (twice including the archival commentary), I do miss the creepy Yoda puppet, despite the digital one looking more like the others.
