I've both discs, but I think I prefer the UK one, to be honest. The Shining is among my very favourite films, but I think Kubrick improved the film slightly by tightening it.
I'm really glad that Warners released Kubrick's international cut on blu ray. I think I read that it was Kubrick's prefered version - I do know that he only allowed the shorter cut to be released outside of the US, which would indicate as much.
The PQ/SQ is exactly the same on both discs, btw.
