Riverside, overall, though Norton and Broadview also have decent editions. The Broadview Companion to Chaucer, though, is the best orientation I know of (and I've taught the Tales to third-year students). Check it out:

and which is the most poetic?
for someone who cares more about poetry then accuracy.

Aside from that old Penguin I keep around to help students who haven't gotten comfortable with the language, they all use original text, so the poetry is just Chaucer's in all cases.

Just wondering what you did to become good at understanding and analysing it seeing as you teach 3rd years

Well, endless years as a university student helped a great deal, and a few good medieval professors. After you've been forced to translate half of Beowulf, Chaucer's Middle English is fairly straightforward.

I did the whole thing for fun on summer break.
