>Best Edition
Carbon2158 or CyBorg. This is not a recommendation of D&Dogshit and Borgslop, but an indictment of every edition of Shadowrun. Honestly, any cyberpunk genres system will do you better than Shadowrun. The only games branded Shadowrun were playing are the >>>/vrpg/ games.
>vs. Cyberpunk
The dice pool system is built on top of bad math, and the magic system muddies the genre to retarded levels. But the real kicker in the minutiae of how everything interacts. Inconsistent subsystems, rules that don't want to talk to each other, and so much shit that needs to be referenced in book during play, it all falls to shit. The only thing I give SR over SP2020/R is the autofire weapons rules are a bit less clunky.

It is a total faggot move to not take a day to ask around a but before spending time learning a game.

Genesys is a lot like GURPS, not mechanically but insofar that if your group has the right flavor of autism, it's perfect for you. But if even one person just can't do the buyin needed to gronk the system, the campaign will flop within weeks if that much.
