The first question is, what do you mean by "quality"?
I would suggest you need to find a trusted Russian
translator, and have the two versions checked by
someone who can read what was in the original.
The First Translator provides a much smoother
rendition. If you intend to publish the translation
unedited, go with this one.
The second appears to be quasi-literal, and perhaps
much closer to just what was written in the original.
You need a very good editor (rewrite man) to put this
one if a form suitable for the general public.
