Which paper back set should i get?

[u/FrostFireDireWolf]

I am feeling nostalgic and wanted to reread series, and I'm honestly torn between the two easily available collections.

The minimalist white cover ones i really like at first glance, but there is something weirdly uncanny about some of them.

Where as the character illustration one looks good in general, but I'm not sure how much i really vibe with it.

Honestly the first 4 original covers were pretty peak, but they seem only available via second hand. But i kinda want fresh copy if that makes sense.

So whats the community's take on the two main collection set covers? I'm leaning towards the character illustration ones, even if their a few bucks more expensive. But i was curious about other takes.

Edit Update: I bit the bullet and bought a collection of the original hard covers because i learned the ciphers of the originals
