does it matter what edition to get?

Totally new to Fallout 76, i've played previous fallout games and missed out on this. i've heard that all DLC's are free but the paid portion is cosmetic? can i earn it in game by grinding or the store shop? o: any help will be appreciated! :D
also any edition recommendation will be helpful too!

to a degree yes, the seasons have atoms in it, just no longer as much as used too.
theres also atoms for challenges.
and therees minor stuff like ammo box, scrap box, loot droids that help too-id look up whats good in atom store on internet to save atoms for it.
theres tons of free apparel ingame to be looted and even some PA skins imo.
the editions are mostly stuff like cosmetics/base building items that are unique to them though, its up to you.
fallout 1st is the only way to "add" to a unlimited stash for ammo and scrap.
interstingly enougoh you can still use it to build stuff even after you desubbed so hoard as much as you can while its active.
theres also stuff unique to f1st, emotes, apparely, base items.
no stash increases ever though, we look enviously at ESO for that.
until that get some weight reduction perks/armor mods

don't get the bundle, just buy the base game, bundles is just extra cosmetic stuff.

[insert food here]

Base game contains all playable content ever released including in the future. The more expensive game versions simply contain cosmetic items.

dont forget that upto now whenever there was a free trial it was not letting you keep the game forever. yea, some stuff is nice but it is up to you-
the real gamechanger is as soon you can create radant lager and or got party boy so you can vacuum scrap is fallout first for the scrap box and the ammox box.
i was subbed for a few months, finally found out how to unsub(hrrhr) and can still subtract from both. F1st turns this into a non survival game though, normally its sell junk and buy plans to save room
