With Moorcock, I tend to prefer the version that I originally read, i.e. the DAW release.
It's weird that the series he just can't seem to leave be is the Elric books. He doesn't seem to have continuously updated the Hawkmoon books, for instance.

I guess it's a combination of the Elric books having been written when he was very young, so had less control over the editing and their popularity, eclipsing the rest of his work.
