Which AD&D edition should I pick up, /tg/?

2nd
The one on the right has a cooler cover, so get that one.
2nd

There are far more interesting tables and writings in the 1E one...

2nd.

Get them both
Use the rules from 2E, and the random monster tables, Monster Manual, etc. from 1E
2e has a better ruleset, but Gygax was a vastly better DM than Cook ever was.
If you can only afford 2e, get 2e. If you can also afford the 1e DMG, get it and read it. You will learn SO MUCH.

Use the 2e one, it's better. And bigger.

Sorry about your trash opinion.
Cyclopedia was an amazing book.
