I have no personal experience, but I suspect both are good. Also there's a William Butcher translation that is also good.

There's a modern translation that the author released to the public domain, and which is complete and good. I believe it's the work of one of the translators of the U.S. Naval Institute Press version:

If you want a public domain English translation, this should be your best choice.

Thanks. I'll look for it, since I don't remember it right now.
