New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ?


I am after a pink Floyd album (  Dark side of the Moon ) . There are some new resissue albums out on the market but there are plenty of older ones being sold . What would be the best one to go for to get the best sound quality . Most of the older ones are asking for more money . 
Any help would be great .
kind regards
Steve

This is strictly my opinion, for what it's worth, but I have probably 10-12 different versions of this album. My ranking:

1. Mobile Fidelity UHQR
2. EMI/Toshiba Pro Use Japanese
3. UK 1st Pressing
4. German 1st Pressing
5. Mobile Fidelity regular Pressing

No, but I do have a T-Shirt and a Poster :-)

10-12 is nothing.  I probably have 20 different copies of Steely Dan's "AJA" and close to 15 different copies of "Hotel California" and multiple copies of a few other milestone albums.
