Have a look here where a lot of editions have been discussed:

Also have a look at reply #8 here, which is somehow related to your question:

Yeah, I have that one. I think it's very good, although I haven't had the time to compare it to other editions much.

In Japan, Alfred Cortot Edition has been a kind of bible. Even Japanese translation version has been published long time ago. His finguring is quite unique, however, after a while (I mean after enormous amount of time practice, of course), it strangely turns to be very comfortable.

Surprisingly, I like the Alfred edition.  My next choice would be the Cortot.

The Paderewski is what my teacher recommends, too.  There are 2 varieties,too.  The books that are edited in Poland, and printed in the US (the "normal" ones you see in the stores) and the ones actually printed in Poland.  They are almost twice as expensive, have shiny covers, and have a few extra pages of "goodies" like pictures of Chopin and manuscript inside.  Kind of a collectors thing.
