The 4 disc set. It has DTS and an anamorphic transfer plus extras. The R1
is missing some extras so is on 3 discs but the transfer etc is identical.
I did read somewhere that the R1 transfer is minutely sharper than the R2,
so get that if you prefer R1 and are not bothered about the missing items -
but I watched the R2 yesterday and it has a superb image. Note that the
film is now split between 2 discs (just after it hits the iceberg) owing to
the space taken by the transfer and soundtracks.

FWIW I didn't find the extras too interesting, so the 2 discer could be OK.
