I have the Rostropovich which you can have for a song. Name your price. Contact me at gjpnhap@netzero.
I've listened to many of those mentioned, but Anner Bylsma's recording on Vivarte from 1993 is my favorite. Played in the baroque style, and stunning.
At Ymh's recommendation on this thread, I bought Steven Isserlis' recording of the Cello Suites, and I'm enjoying it very much. To my ears, it has a more spontaneous and improvisational feel than some of the other notable performances. At times it is almost playful, which some may object to, but I find an interesting approach.

Worth a listen.
