Which Version is the Best Version?
It has various running times from 99 mins to 119 mins (I think). Which one would you recommend and why?
"Never eat yellow snow"
As far as different versions, I read the following with regards to a previous DVD release;
"When Warner Bros. first released the film in 1980, it ran 140 minutes. Blatty, who controls the rights, withdrew the film after WB advertised The Ninth Configurationas an Exorcist-like film. Six months later, United Film Distribution released a 130-minute version called Twinkle Twinkle Killer Kane. Blatty withdrew the film after UFD gave the film a wide release instead of a word of mouth style release. In 1985, with New World Pictures, Blatty released a 118-minute cut."

I've seen the 2014 Henstooth Blu-Ray version. The listed run time is 118 minutes. Supposedly this is the director's final cut version (for now).
I think that's the version that I watched and loved.
Thank you.
