afaik, Paderewski edition is only for Chopin so you might want to re-think your options.

Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

An option for none of the above would be good.

I can not vote for any of the ones listed as to falsely lead people that Edition X is always better. I have never found such to be true, even from highly regarded publishers.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

When I say this, I do mean which of these options do you prefer. I should have reworded the question.

I think Urtext or Peters is quite good as these "overall"-sheets, but it's still not good to only get Urtext. As someone said - Paderewski is the one edition for chopin, but nothing else.

Considering your rewording, I would still vote none of the above.
