Which version of "Smile" do you choose to listen to the most??

At the moment, I'm liking my own mix - I wanted to combine both 'finished' versions (Brian's and Purple Chick's) into one perfect album.  Something like this, if I remember correctly...
1)  Our Prayer (Beach Boys)
2)  Heroes And Villains (Beach Boys)
3)  Roll Plymouth Rock (Brian)
4)  Barnyard (Brian)
5)  Old Master Painter (Brian) / Sunshine (Beach Boys)
6)  Cabinessence (Beach Boys)
7)  Wonderful (Brian)
Cool  Song For Children (Brian)
9)  Child Is The Father (Brian) - I would've used more BB material for the second section, but it's in bad quality.  Brian's stuff is better anyway.
10)  Surf's Up (Beach Boys)
11)  Vegetables (Beach Boys) - I hate the medley.  It had to go.
12)  On A Holiday (Brian)
13)  Wind Chimes (Beach Boys)
14)  Mrs O Leary's Cow (Beach Boys)
15)  In Blue Hawaii (Brian) / Our Prayer Reprise (Beach Boys)
16)  Good Vibrations (Beach Boys)

I really like the BWPS tracklisting
how incorrect it may be historically
but it works fantastic

more specific, I really like how BWPS' H&V is constructed
all the best parts of H&V together integrated in a great song
I think the Smiley Smile/Single version is great, but it misses
the cantina section and False Barnyard. BWPS is the best version in
matter of structure, but I'll take the 1966/67 recordings of all the material
over the 2004 anyday.  That's why I like the version that somebody
made of BWPS with the 1966 recordings. Who made that, actually? It really
sounds finished, with the exception of Holiday, Blue Hawaii/Dada and Child is the father of the man
(still think Look didn't really need lyrics)

My own mix from the 66-67 sessions. I tinkered with it obsessively. Yeah, I know some of the these songs probably wouldn't have made the final cut.

 1.  Look
 2.  You're Welcome
 3.  Do You Like Worms
 4.  Cabinessence
 5.  I Wanna Be Around/Workshop
 6.  Vegetables
 7.  I Love To Say Dada
 8.  Spanish Guitar Instrumental
 9.  Heroes And Viilains Suite (with false Barnyard)
10. Wonderful
11. Mama Mama Mama
12. Barnyard
13. Old Master Painter
14. Mrs. O'Leary's Cow
15. Water Chant (from Sunflower)
16. Good Vibrations
17. Wind Chimes
18. Holidays
19. With Me Tonight (from the Hawthorne CD)
20. Child Is Father Of The Man
21. Our Prayer
22. Surf's Up
23. Hidden Track using the "boys and girls and boys and girls" snippet from Carl's Coda on the Hawthorne CD)

Gee, it's great to talk about SMiLE again...

My favorite alternative track list (one that doesn't match BWPS) would probably have to be the one that seemed to commonly appear on sites before BWPS came out - it was split into "Side One: Americana" and "Side Two: Elemental".  Don't remember exactly what was on it, but I have a CDR of it somewhere...

It crammed in a lot of bits and pieces that BWPS didn't cover; though admittedly, putting on ALL of "Heroes And Villains" (including the weird 'part 2' and the 'Bicycle Rider Theme' sections) is a little excessive.

I just made a new mix a couple of weeks ago. I believe it's almost perfect. I tried to do something that would have actually been plausible and I tried to stick to the twelve track list as much as possible. I used no fan mixes or combinations of demos and backing tracks, and everything is mono, except for a few songs which are only available in stereo, which I converted to mono. The only major liberty I took was using the Sunflower "Cool, Cool Water." Tracklist is as follows:

Side One
01. Prayer (GV box version)
02. H&V Cantina Version w/ fade
03. Worms w/ fade and chorus with "bicycle rider..." vocals
04. Wonderful
05. Bicycle Rider theme from H&V Sections--the one that's instrumental with the piano and all the cool percussion stuff.
Immediately at the end of the bicycle rider theme, where that last note is held out, BOOM!--right into the Child chorus (fits PERFECTLY!), and then Brian's mix of Child, replacing the final chorus with the fading tag (This song had to be converted to mono. I used the mix found on MOK's version. I don't know where it originated.)
06. Old Master Painter (Mark Linett Rough Mixes version)
07. Cabinessence (20/20 version, converted to mono)

Side Two
01. Good Vibes
02. The Elements
Earth
-Vega-Tables (box set version, but with Smiley a capella "I know that you'll.." added just before the other "I know that you'll...," just like on the Smiley version.
Air
-Holidays (Mark Linett Rough Mixes version w/ tag)
-Wind Chimes (box set version w/ tag)
Fire
-Fire (SOT mono version w/ sound effects w/ H&V intro and w/ IWBA/Friday Night as tag--H&V intro and IWBA/Friday Night had to be converted to mono)
Water
-Cool, Cool Water (Sunflower version converted to mono)
03. You're Welcome
04. Surf's Up (Surf's Up Version converted to mono)

my preferred mix is most definately and most certainly the one described at:
http://www.geocities.com/psychedelicate_smile

no bwps smile tracks, full stereo mix, 'talk-over' interludes and all sorts of other surprises. makes every other edit i've heard stink.

blaah

Side 1:
Our Prayer - Box Set

Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine - Vigotone
Cabin Essence - Box Set
Wonderful - Box Set
Look - Vigotone
Child Is Father of the Man - Vigotone

Side 2:
Good Vibrations - Smiley (but I hear there's a version that was released only in Australia that lasts a few seconds longer than the normal edit, with the ridiculous abrupt fade, that would be good as an "album" version, you know)

Heroes and Villains [Intro] (really O'Leary's Cow intro) - Box Set
Mrs. O'Leary's Cow - Vigotone
I'm In Great Shape - not sure
