Is there a specific game version recommended to ensure compatibility for this Z experience?

Sorry for the late-response, but I think you should just stick to Legacy Edition, since Enhanced Edition came out like two months ago (as of this writing) and modding that version is still relatively new and not a lot of mods support it.
As for game version, just about any version will do fine.
