AoD v. SOTD and Various Editions of AoD on DVD

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2004)

Alright--two questions for everybody. I start with the controversy. I recently saw Shaun of the Dead. I am a huge fan of Army of Darkness, but I think that SOTD edges it out for humor, emotion, and scares. All in all, I'd call SOTD a great film, but I'd call Army of Darkness a great movie, if you'll bear with my snobbiness for a minute. What does everybody else think? I loved how SOTD paid homage to AoD when Shaun says "Ash called out sick today."
Second--I only own AoD on VHS. Before you stone me to death, I really want to purchase AoD on DVD, but there are like three special editions/director's cuts, etc. Which one is best. I've seen the regular version, the Director's Cut, one where the DVD cover is actually like the Necronomicon, and the 2-disc Boomstick Edition. Which one's worth the investment. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
