This is the one I assign in my mythology classes, as the translation is approachable, the background information sufficient but not given in confusing detail, and the ancillary material is helpful.

If The Prose Edda reads as well as all the references I have read in the The Hammer and the Cross by Robert Ferguson then, I will have a great read to look forward too!

Great translation!!! Read this along side with 'Children of Odin' and 'Volsung Sagas.' You'll get a great picture of Norse Mythology with these three Great Books.
