Hmmm. I almost always prefer the arranged album over the originals, except when the arranged version is a piano collection. Especially when I've played the game before, I often find the originals boring compared to arranged versions.
I think that composers have more time to devote all their focus on making music for the best listening experience possible when an arranged version is being composed. For original versions, the focus is on getting the music done in time for the game, and there may be other considerations than making music that's beautiful to listen to when standing alone.
