Best version of Velvet Underground & Nico?

At this point there are no less than 5 different remasters of the Velvet Underground & Nico album. Which is best? I'm still listening to the original CD release from the early 90's and figure it's time to upgrade.

Any aficionados care to enlighten me? Does the Deluxe Edition provide stunning new insight? Or for the same amount of money should I just get the Peel Slowly and See box? Or save up slightly more for the MoFi? Go cheap and get the new remaster that all the regular stores sell?
