I would say nowadays it doesn't really matter as it can take endless searching for an original pressing.

Personally if i could get an original that's what i'd go for just for it's collectible value.

By the way the latest fad of saying it's 180gram vinyl is a bit of marketing bollocks. It doesn't matter how heavy the vinyl.

The best sound comes from the deeper grooves so it's all a question of the pressing not the weight of the plastic. A new release of Dark Side of the Moon won't sound any better than an original album...but it may sound a little worse.
