If you see yourself (still) playing Skyrim two years from now, get the special edition. If you only expect to play through once in the coming two months, get the Legendary edition.
SE is a remastered version done in 64 bit architecture. (Thank you Bethesda).
The original was a good game, but this one takes it to another level of fidelity that's worthy of PC systems with the beef to run it.
Mod makers are starting to catch up even if they were resistant to begin with. That's just human nature to resist change.
The Remaster is noted to be more stable and will be able to handle various mods later on as the makers catch up.
I wouldn't waste money on getting the old version that's going to be outdated in due time.
Agreed, as time goes on Remastered will continue to be ever more superior to the original. Remastered would be my choice, OP.
Skyrim Special Edition 1.1 Update (All Platforms Unless Otherwise Noted) (7 November 2016)
Fixes
But yes, it is worth it. Mainly because of the 64-bit. It allows you to use more RAM the 4gb without crashing the game, so you can put more, bigger mods on at the same time.
Dont get my wrong it does look a little better, but its just a re-release with the newer features of their creation engine. So lighting and other effects are a little better. Textures still look less than 1k and most mods that have a 2k texture blow it away.
If you only own a PS4 or Xbox One and never had a PC and wanted mods then its Definately worth it. Most PC users who owned the Legendary or all the DLC got it for free (cause they knew PC users wouldnt buy it when old Skyrim with mods slaughters stock SE version).
Meshes and textures are from the old game no improvements there but shadows look better and godrays were added.
SKSE is not working yet so many useful mods are not yet ported to SE.
Special Edition is the better choice imo it's more stable and has better performance than original Skyrim.
So... and because the upcoming SKSE 64bit release (soon)... aye, it's worth it.
