the essays in Labyrinths are really good, but then I'd hate to lose a number of stories in Ficciones. The stories that overlap are worth rereading; really all of it pretty much requires rereading anyway

This.

"The Double" is secretly one of Borges' greatest stories. So is "The Congress."

Theoretically Complete Fictions is the way to go, but then you're stuck with Hurley. So I'd say Labyrinths in the Irby/Yates translation.
