Click 'All Editions' to see them sorted by popularity, and from there it's easy to see who's the most popular translator. Then just go check out that version from your public library.

I started with the original Creighton translation, but switched to the more modern Horrocks translation after the library made it available the next day. I only made it through the Preface of the Creighton translation, but felt it was fine. Horrocks wrote an Introduction to his translation with several comments about he feels his translation is both more accurate and more readable. The Horrocks translation is definitely very good reading, but I give most of the credit to Hesse. The Creighton translation may be a little more stiff than Horrocks, but I didn't notice a remarkable difference.
