New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ?

I am after a pink Floyd album (  Dark side of the Moon ) . There are some new resissue albums out on the market but there are plenty of older ones being sold . What would be the best one to go for to get the best sound quality . Most of the older ones are asking for more money . 
Any help would be great .
kind regards

10-12 is nothing.  I probably have 20 different copies of Steely Dan's "AJA" and close to 15 different copies of "Hotel California" and multiple copies of a few other milestone albums.
Isn't THAT silly?

"Isn't THAT silly?"
Not if you're a serious collector.  Jealous?

Being SERIOUS collector sounds pretty silly to me than.

This is a hobby where being seriously silly is not unheard of. I'll be on the lookout for the UHQR copy.

From the point of view of normal people most of us if not all are idiots. Just don't ask me what normal is. 12 copies for a collector is perfectly fine, otherwise two would probably suffice.
I heard that EMI/Manhattan Japanese Pro was best or second best but I don't have it. Regular Mo-Fi was quite disappointing.
Original German WYWH is okay, nothing special.
