Consensus on Best Axis and Allies version?

What’s the consensus on which is the best version of Axis and Allies to play?

I mean versions representing the complete war around the globe, so:

Axis and Allies Classic
Axis and Allies Revised
Axis and Allies 50th Anniversary
Axis and Allies 1942
Axis and Allies Europe 1940 + Axis and Allies Pacific 1940

2

In order of awesomeness:

Axis and Allies Classic or Axis and Allies Revised which by ‘revised’ I’m assuming you mean THIS
Axis and Allies Pacific 1940
Axis and Allies 1942
Axis and Allies 50th Anniversary
Axis and Allies Europe 1940

ETA: Europe is worthless IMHO and the 50th Anniversary edition is worth getting only if you have too much money and time to waste.

I’ve only played Classic, Europe and Pacific (botht he 1941 versions).

I’d rank them:

Classic
Pacific
Europe

4

With the World At War expansion/add-on, which was sort of like the 50th Anniversary edition.
