What version of HL2 should I buy?

I just downloaded Steam yesterday to play some hot hot retro-TFC. I've never played HL2, but I thought I should pick it up since I liked the original so much.

I have a few options to buy it:

HL2 only from Steam, $30

HL2 with CS:S and HL:S from Steam $50

HL2 everything from steam: $70

Retail options, Gogamer has the same thing Steam sells for $50, but they only charge $40 (GotY edition). There is also a HL2 Platinum edition coming out on 6/27 for $50 (same thing on Source is $70).

Now, I will never play CS:S most likely. DoD:S is a maybe, I never really got into the original and I like RTCW:ET way more.

Is HL:S worth it? It's been forever since I played HL, so it'd almost be like a new game.

HL:S has more bugs than the original version, I'd post the Wikipedia entry for it but the site is way slow atm.

Stick with the original HL1, or hold out for the Black Mesa:Source mod.
