Best LP edition of Jazz at the Pawnshop?

"Jazz at the Pawnshop" is acknowledged as the one of the finest audiophile recordings (although I know it's not everyone's cup of tea). I thought I'd purchase an LP (vinyl) of the record, but am confronted with used LPs, Swedish and British LP pressings along with stereo remastered 180 gram and 200 gram editions. I've heard the remasted versions on heavier vinyl don't sound as "alive" as the regular 33rpms, but would appreciate your advice. I'm not looking for the cheapest but the best edition. Your thoughts? FYI: I'll play it on a Technics SL1210G turnatable running through a Mofi Ultraphono pre-amp into my Hegel H390 integrated amp and through my Vandersteen Treo CT speakers.

I also have two of the these. One is the Audiosource pressed 7778/7779, which as Mike L states above is better sounding than the later pressing and I have a 7778 Prophone, which is the German pressing...and not quite as great as the 7778/7779; although very good indeed, and depending on mood might be preferred.

I think these two are the ones to seek out.
