Robert,
I have all of the released Bis/LVB syms releases as well as the Haitink LSO boxed set. Performance-wise, I have a hard time picking between these two sets (at least for the performances that are common to the two - Bis will eventually get around to releasing syms 1,2,6,7). Both series are exciting. Sonically, I have a slight preference for the Haitink's close-up sound. The Bis recording are very, very fine too with an incredible dynamic range but I slightly prefer the LSO Live sound because of its visceral immediacey. You can't go wrong with either - or both!
