There is a new 'revised' edition, just out in the UK - but don't know how 'revised' it is. For instance, if the mistakes pointed out by Chrisopher Tolkien in the HOME series have been put right. But as has been said, generally any edition should contain the whole text. I don't think the red leatherette edition has the Alan Lee illustrations, though, which were part of Peter Jackson's inspiration for the movie, so you might want to consider the one with those.
