There are the Quarto of 1608 and the Folio of 1623, which are more different than other plays are between the two sources, and then there is the conflated text which mashes them up together.
Does anybody happen to have an opinion of the relative merits of one over the others, or even parts that only appear in either Q or F and are particularly worth keeping (or dropping) for a performance?

I've never looked at the complete texts of either separately. I do know there are some subtle differences in the opening, and, apparently, the ending is completely different between the Folio and the Quarto. (Or so says my professor.)
