I can't say which CD gives us the best sound quality. They're pretty good both but the source tape is a cassette which was made by John Barrett a long time ago so you won't get the same crisp and clear sound as Masterdisc's 'Get Back with Don't Let Me Down and 9 Other Songs'.
Strawberry didn't include both longer versions of Teddy Boy which is a pity because they sound great, these tracks are to appear on one of their other new releases however. Packaging is another thing: although the Strawberry disc has an 8 page booklet, nice inlays and a picture disc (this is no CDR) I prefer the Vigotone release. A 32 page booklet, even better looking inlays and a deluxe slipcase. (Why doesn't Apple bring us these fantastic 'collector's issues' every now and then?!)

Apart from Strawberry clocking the track times a little different their 'Save The Last Dance For Me' is edited down to 20 seconds which is how it appears on one of the 7 source discs circulating among collectors and which were used by Vigotone, Strawberry and Roaring Mouse. Which source did Vigotone use for this track then?
