Rahlfs is an excellent edition for those interested in the LXX and its major
witnesses. It is not thorough enough for real textual criticism of the LXX-
for that you need the Goettingen edition.
Rahlfs is also the most accessible edition. It is to LXX studies what UBS 3
is to NT text critics--- useful on its own terms but not very useful in
terms of thoroughness.
Best,
