No idea but the Decca box is my idea of Hell

The six in my collection are:

Monteux (the daddy of them all) - Paris Cons Orch & Boston SO
Ozawa - Boston SO
Davis - Concertgebouw
Steinberg - Pittsburgh SO
Ancerl - Czech PO

I don't like any of them but at least I tried.

Yes, Igors'. I mean both the Stravinsky and the Markevitch. Both are incredible. I also liked two rather more nuanced approaches: Barenboim's (coupled with La Mer and a short Boulez piece) and ... I know many don't like it but ... Gergiev's (coupled with Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy). I also have good memories of the Davis that others have mentioned and also of the Tilson Thomas. It is an extraordinary work and almost bound to be spectacular so there must be many other good ones out there! But you can set the bar very high because there have been quite a few exceptional performances.
