That's a good question. I don't know. I'm fairly certain that theatrical TMP was released on DVD after the DE was released, but I have no link for this.
First ten movies --theatrical version or director's cut?

I try not to. There is a delete feature? Where please... Never mind, I found it, thank you.

I think I'm am going to take your advice, because 1. The original ST: TMP is very hard to find and I like the special effects, but I think I'm going to also keep TWOK the directors cut, cause I like the dialogue between Saavik and Spock about Kirk be so "human", which I believe is in the theatrical release, but I also like the extended dialogue between Kirk and McCoy. With TUC, I hate that "bonging" sound and the scene with Rene Aubergenois (sp) is really isn't needed, though I do like him as an actor. Everything from TFF onward, I saw in the theatre anyway.
I've read a few bad reviews about the double feature sets, and the 50th anniversary release supposedly has no 2.0 soundtrack. Anyway, I think I'm going to go for the single disc 1990's/2000's widescreen releases. It's also easier.
TMP - Directors Cut (wish the studio would put out some money to get this on bluray. They already have a beautiful bluray transfer of the theatrical...they could even re-release both cuts on one disk)
TWOK - I like both cuts
TUC - Theatrical (There were some changes made in the DC that just weren't needed, like the bong sound when the conspirators are revealed. Sticks out like a sore thumb)

TWOK - Director's edition for me. Think it adds a lot of emotional context and watching that version was the first time I truly realised the full majesty of the movie itself.
