SADX. In my opinion about SADX, not only I like it because of nostalgia (that's like the tiniest part of my opinion lmao), but because, even if I played and completed it multiple times, it's still fun to play the game. It's the perfect 3D Sonic game for me. Fun levels, fun playstyles. Except Amy, Big and Gamma of course. I would have say that they are okay if they would be more fun. SA1 graphics are definitely better than SADX's ones, but SADX has the best controls (plus the Free Camera thing).
I'm trying to complete SA1 rn and the controls feel.... weird. When I hold forward, I'm starting to turn left! It also has those (a bit) long loading times what I did not except. Plus the cutscenes can't be skipped. I didn't really care about the Mini Game Collection (and TehRealSalt is right, you could just boot up an emulator for those old goodies), however I always played SADX's chao garden more than SA2's. It was so fun using Fusion's Chao Editor with it.
I also like SADX's models, but SA1's models are daaaaaamn gooood. I am okay with both versions graphics, but SA1's is better than SADX.
TL;DR SA1 for visuals, SADX for gameplay. So if I would want to play the actual perfect version of SADX, I would play it with the Dreamcast mods (just remove Big, then make Amy & Gamma more fun and give Metal Sonic an actual good moveset instead of Sonic's lol). Better visuals, while still the same good old controls.
