...good choice to start, I think!

I use Kalmus. It's got next to no fingering, so you have to work out your own. I understand there are some copies on the free domain, but I haven't compared them with the Kalmus one. There shouldn't be much discrepancy between the editions available - in fact, I'm not aware of any other edition apart from the Kalmus...

The one I have is from "International Music Company". Not sure if that's an 'edition', but I think it's sufficient. It has 0 fingerings, I think the only ones that have fingerings are the editorial ones.
I'm also learning my first Prokofiev Sonata, no.2. Although I can't really say anything about no.3 aside from the fact that it's quite short for a sonata, the tension builds up from start to finish.
Good luck
That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything.  See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie.  But that's just me.
