I've heard that Ursula Le Guin's version is also quite good. If you're familiar with it I'd like to hear your opinion.

I heard good things about it from a sibling, but besides changing the traditionally translated pronouns of the master I don't know much about it TBH. The original Chinese used ambiguous pronouns due to the language itself, most English translations have traditionally made the master male, Mitchell alternates between male and female pronouns, and I think Le Guin is supposed to use either feminine or ambiguous pronouns (I'm forgetting which).
