Probably Super Turbo, but I spent the most time with Special Champion Edition on Genesis because that's what we had growing up.

The commodore 64 version is obviously the best

I'm weird in that I enjoy playing the original SF2 the most. Part of it is just plan old retro feels, and the other part is I just really enjoy it's quirks and issues. Same reason I like playing FF1 or AOF1.
Beyond that, I enjoy CE the second most. Fixes a lot of the issue, but keeps the flow of the older game. Sure, it plays like mud, but sometimes I really enjoy a slower fighting game experience that doesn't require lightning quick responses.

Genesis/Mega drive Champion edition hands down.

Why do so many people seem to like the Genesis version of SF2?
I always preferred the SNES version of CE/Turbo, as the sound was much better. But the Genesis is a little closer to the arcade, in terms of the actual gameplay. And it's the only home conversion (before the 32-bit era) that actually has the real arcade intro.
CE was faster than World Warrior, but slow if you were used to Turbo. But Turbo is too fast, you just about have to predict the opponent's moves, instead of just react to them. SF2 was originally supposed to be a game where you had time to react. There was that strategy element to it.

Yes, but the voice samples weren't very good, which kind of ruined it. I think there were other Genesis games that had clear-sounding voice samples, so I can't see why SF2CE couldn't have had good voices.
Guile is weak in Super Turbo, that's why I don't like it. But I like playing as Akuma, if I can manage to get the code (to play as him) to work.
The vulnerable dragon punches in SSF2T are an improvement in terms of character balance, but it makes it less fun to play as Ryu & Ken, and it also takes some getting used to. The unplayable Shin Akuma still has an invincible dragon.

Wasn't there a six button controller released for the PC Engine (in Japan, at least) for SF2CE? I don't how you'd play it with 2 buttons.
