Donners had a few differences but the interesting scene from that version was the way Lois finding out Clark was Superman by shooting him with the Blanks instead of the Lester version when Clark falls in the fire.

I like them both about the same. Lester's theatrical cut has some fun scenes that I love like the opening scene set at the Eiffel Tower.

Sadly we won't ever really see the original version that Donner would have made as he was obviously let go before he could shoot some of the big moments of the film. Quite a few of the scenes in the Donner Cut are what Lester had shot since Donner never got the chance.
