What's the best U2 DVD?

I've always been a fan of U2's music but I don't have any of their DVDs. I'm planning on buying one and would like to hear opinions from others that have seen them. After looking at comments on Amazon.com I'm leaning towards the Elevation DVD (Live from Boston) or Rattle and Hum. If anyone has seen more than one of their DVDs I'd like to hear which one you would pick (if you could only pick one) and why.

Thanks
Matt

My 1st pick would be Elevation/Boston- great audio/good video
2nd Best of 1990-2000- well done package
3rd Rattle and Hum - a tad played out IMHO
4th Making of Joshua Tree very interesting on the making of

Still waiting for the Popmart,Zoo TV DVD's
The complete Red Rocks show would be awesome :b
and I'm still waiting for the best of 1980-1989

I concur with Steve's recommendations, though it's a toss-up between Elevation and Best for the #1 spot. I think the picture quality of Elevation is subpar and I don't like the fact the show's edited, but it's still the best live presentation for U2 on DVD.

All four selections are really good, though - the "Classic Albums" release is quite interesting and informative...
