OVERALL: Draw
The Criterion editions for the lossless Mono and the best set of extras though do note, the Sony releases include "The Cold War" picture-in-picture feature and an interview with Robert McNamara.
For the Sony releases, "The Masterpiece Collection" releases have additional bonus discs. Only minor language differences.
General notes about the aspect ratio:
The film was originally shot using in-camera mattes with alternating aspect ratios, between 1.66:1 and 1.33:1 (it has been said, that during the original release in theaters, this was matted to 1.85:1). The different mattes for the film's different aspect ratios are probably best noticeable at the top of the frame, in the shots where Major Kong puts on his Stetson hat. Also, as Kong rides the bomb, the bomb can be seen jumping "over" the background matte plate.
