The version of Legend with the Goldsmith orchestral score (i.e. this version) is Ridley Scott's original version - or as near as is currently available to his original vision, anyway. The version with the Tangerine Dream score was the shorter, re-cut version that was rather forced upon him to 'please American audiences'. It is generally considered to be somewhat lighter in tone than the European cut.
What I've found is that people tend to prefer the version that they saw first, as with many things. Each to their own. Personally, I like *both* versions for different reasons, and am eagerly awaiting the release of the Ultimate Edition that is currently available in the US, which includes an extended director's cut, and director's commentary, along with the US/Tangerine Dream version of the film.
