I've decided to go with the Signet Classics Fahnestock/MacAfee translation based on this comment:
You are clearly more well-versed on the book than I, however Gutenberg had two versions for free, which I mentioned, though I only linked to one of them directly.

The second version comes in 5 parts, and is by a different translator.
Here is Part 1 - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/48731

What HarryT says may still apply though.
