I would say read the Ford version if you can. Mein Kampf was written in German for a German audience, and directly translating it into English will cause a bit of the meaning to be missed due to sayings that translate wrong
Unless you're deep into history, it probably won't make much difference, from the critiques I've seen of the different translations. They're mostly word substitutions in different places, but not enough to change the overall sense of the book.

Don't hold your breath on buying Siege, been trying to find it for close to two years now lol. PDFs are free online however.
