Which version do you have?
For the cheapest entry, grab the Standard version for $3. The Monsters ($22) and Variant ($5) versions offer slight variations, but the higher-priced Standard ($295) likely signifies better condition or packaging. If you just want the comic, buy the $3 Standard. If you seek a more unique piece, the $22 Monsters version is a moderate step up from the base.
