I personally would advise Holmes 3d edition. It has an English version  
on the facing page which may be useful occasionally to some, but at  
least it's not distracting the way an interlinear text is distracting.  
Moreover it is a beautifully-produced and handsome volume, employing  
one of the most easily-read and handsome Greek type-faces I've seen in  
many a moon. I think we have our friend James Ernest at Baker Books to  
thank for that.
