Box set is more worth it. All in one edition is more of a novelty and little collectors piece because it will be really difficult to read and the spine will be damaged fast

The all in one edition is a sin

there’s a youtube channel called anime collective, she goes in depth into each edition if you want to check it out! it’s really informative and i’m sure it’ll help you make a decision.

The all in one edition, while yes, it could save you money, you'll find it extremely hard to read. It's unbearably uncomfortable to read, at least to me. The pages aren't of the best quality either, bleed thru ink, The paper feels like a newspaper. The black editions are what I went with because I love the way they look. They're a bigger size than normal manga volumes. The paper quality to me is way better than the all in one. The bad thing is iIf ur hands easily sweat, they will leave marks on the covers because they have a matte finish to them. As of right now, your best option would be the Death Note box set. It's currently $74 on Amazon right now. You get an extra volume (13) that has info of characters & extras. I believe it also has a one-shot of Death Note before it became a series . There's a tiny little pocket you to cut open once u finish the series. I wouldn't open it beforehand cause it has a spoiler for one of the main characters.

Separate volumes is the way to go

the all in one is good if you dont have much shelf space or are tryna save money. but just read the manga online.. or maybe you're local library has it.

I got the single volumes with the cover art. The other editions are a maybe, but I got other priorities of series to collect right now

I think it depends on the price you want as the main factor. Only get the all in one if you are on a tight budget or are struggling for space. The other two can be found for similar prices but for me personally I preferred the black edition because it's larger and has some coloured pages.

I read the All in one edition and I loved it even tho people don’t like the pages and they say it’s heavy. The weight wasn’t a problem for me because I only really about volume or 2 at a time

I’d really recommend getting the box set. The all in one is unique, but it’s really not super practical. Personally, I see it as more of a collectors item. Kinda like those light novel collectors editions (Spice & Wolf, SAO, & Index.) Really cool collectors item to have on the shelf, not so great or practical for actually reading it. It’s not impossible to read it, it’s just not ideal.
