Which translation is better for...

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: Simon Armitage or Marie Borroff?

Beowulf: Seamus Heany in verse or Talbot Donaldson in prose?

Any other options worth checking?

Simon Armitage's translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is fantastic, stick with it.

Seamus Heaney's Beowulf is incredible & the only good thing he ever wrote. The introduction is very good too.

Also worth a mention is Terry Jones' excellent reading of Gawain & the Green Knight. Once you get past the Python problem, I found it to be an evocative & passionate delivery of a subject in which he's well versed.
