Axis and Allies?

Okay, fellow War Blog readers, today I've got a question for you. I've played Axis and Allies - the boardgame - a couple of times, each time a different edition. For a short time I knew a guy who owned almost all the editions that are out there so the two or three times we played we always played a different edition.

Now I'd like to buy a game for me, but before I do so I'd like to ask whether some of you have some experience with the boardgame series and which of the many editions out there you could recommend to me?
