Yes, Harmy's despecialized (especially the new 2.0 version of SW scheduled to release in the next week or two) is an absolute must in my opinion.  It is based from the official Blu-ray and then re-color-timed to more closely match the theatrical version, so the overall picture will be significantly better than DJ's.  For the "despecialized" shots he used a variety of sources, including the GOUT and then cut them together as seamlessly as I think is possible. The result is very impressive, and this will be the version that I will probably watch most often. 

And not to take anything away from DJ, as they have done a fantastic job of improving the GOUT.  Also keep in mind that DJ is releasing a new blu-ray version this year which will have improved color-timing/picture/audio compared to V3.

Other than those two, negative 1's 35mm preservation is definitely one to watch for this year, so keep your eye on that thread as well.
