I have had experience with Artscroll and Neusner. If you want to get the
traditonal
Jewish viewpoint, go with Artscroll. If you want something a bit more
objective and
scholarly, Neusner is great. Artscroll also puts out a fine edition of the
Talmud
(Schottenstein Edition). My basic translation of Mishnayot is that of Philip
Blackman, Judaica Press Ltd. 1983 edition, but the language is a bit wooden.
Accurate, but wooden.
