I must chime in, because I find Boult's Planets highly overrated. It has a stiffness and stodginess to it. A very pedestrian and boring reading. Plus I don't find the sound competitive with quality, digital era recordings. Rather upfront, grainy & in your face EMI sound.
The Dutoit on London has very good sound, but is more of a French reading that has much beauty & style-ization, but is not an idiomatic reading.
Steinberg is highly thought of, as is Previn, although I have not heard any of these. I believe one of the Karajan's (EMI?) is supposed to be a great reading.
