I want to work my way through most of the Western philosophical canon starting with them and want to make sure I get the best book on the topic possible.

I had your same question OP and I settled on your pic related as the best available practical answer.
Otherwise you have to get the complete Diels-Kranz (the actual answer to your question) for which you'd drop $150 bux or similar. As I've just said, Waterfield is a practical solution.

Think most people here recommend that, OP.
I would suggest having read The Iliad and The Odyssey, at least, and maybe even considering some of Herodotus' Histories before getting too far into Greek philosophy. It's all pretty enjoyable stuff.
