Depends, really. The first boxed set is before the events of the novels, while the second boxed set is the "revised" version of the setting, including elements set after the Prism Pentad series of novels. Some people prefer the first box, others prefer the second. I personally set my games after the Prism Pentad series, but I keep the information pretty darned limited and restricted to my players.

The revised "Wanderer's Chronicle" is more useful to me as a DM.
