I was told Garnett was good for Tolstoy for personal use, and that the complaints about it being too poetic were over blown.

And that P&V is best for academic use and can be overly literal.

Maude worked with Tolstoy, so don't most people defer to her work?

Found a long article about different translation, these were my notes about it. Still haven't read any of them yet though.
