The Expendables - Which cut of the FIVE?! - Blu-ray Forum

Greetings.

I'm interested in seeing 'The Expendables', which I almost caught at the cinema when it was out, but I'll go with a BD now.
Only... which one Earth should I go with??
There are cuts of 99, 103, 104, 109 and 114 minutes, with names ranging from "special", "limited" to "extended" and "director's" editions/cuts.

Just... how am I supposed to pick which is best to watch?
Maybe a longer version has a more extensive story or just more action to it.
Do some of them also include multiple versions?
What are all the differences? Mostly based on censoring or is there more to it?

I'd like to get the longest version so I'm sure I wouldn't miss out on any content, but who knows it's not as good or I don't know what.
There are also a bunch of differences in physical content, nice sets and all.
But first it would be handy to know which cut would be nicest to have.
Then also if it's very available to me, cause for example that longest "Extended Director's Cut" at 114 minutes is sold in the US only (as far as I can see).
Oh... and it's locked apparently (I saw just now)... -_- But it would be expensive to import anyway.

Does anyone know more about this or have any suggestions?
