This probably won't get many votes, but I just love the incredible energy and spontaneity of these live performances.

Live - Du Pre/Barenboim

NB:  The one drawback is there is a large amount of excessive audience coughing.  It must have been flu season.  :D

Can't go wrong with Fournier/Gulda or Rostropovich/Richter, but Perényi/Schiff stands out for me.

What do you think of the Sono Luminus recording that is both PI and MI? David Hardy and Lambert Orkis, two full sets in one fold-out box.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

I don't know Bijlsma's cycle on Nonesuch, and would choose his Sony recording.
But I'm willing to lend my vote to the other recording if necessary. :D  (Is the Nonesuch really nicer? :))

The difference is not Bylsma, it is Bilson v Immerseel. Bilson kicks ass and takes names here. :)  I have played both of these cycles many times over. :)

Somehow I always liked Casals/Serkin.....

The fact that it's Bilson and not Immerseel makes me want to check it out. Just don't get Immerseel, I'm afraid.
