Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky. Since they get so much praise, anything russian I have read was translated by them.

And they did the Penguin 50 yr anniversary edition [1]. It has some useful notes at the end, too.

I found the notes in the Annotated Lolita [2] very helpful, unfortunately I haven't really found an annotated version of M&M (beyond what's in [1]).

They have many critics also who refuse to buy into the Pevear-Volokhknsky hype, even considering their translations as 'disastrous':
