Now you have also a third version, the "final cut"...
The Redux have additional scenes, and they are for most of them more quiet/calm scenes. For instance the long french plantation scene: it's ghosty (people in the dusk, colonial power from the past not wanting to leave), it looks like limbo (the last trace of civilization/discussions before hell)... It's like a break who makes sense, but it makes the film less intense. But more interesting.
The "final cut" version (don't know if it's already edited on bluray, it came out in theater this year) is a good compromise ; otherwise, i would say Redux. But the people who search for the big intense action nightmare will prefer the original.
