Very interesting comments from all. My answer will be much simpler: I, too, thought the portrayal of Gollum/Smeagol was probably the best and truest to form adaptation from the book character into the movie. So I can not say I have a preference.
I hated that Hennuth Annun beating of Gollum, which is just another example of how Jackson ruined the Faramir character. Faramir, even more so than Aragorn, has always been my favorite man character in the books.
