I would recommend the MAC version, since FX releases have recently become very unreliable for pixelation-free video performance. I never noticed any missing subs for the MAC versions.
Regarding the opening for the FX version, I would think they fixed the problem that MAC had, but that never bothered me to begin with. If anything, I think more series should have that, since I usually only watch the OP and ED during the first episode.
If you want the ultimate MACROSS experience, stay FAR AWAY from the Robotech DVDs. Harmony Gold practically butchered Macross' story and footage, and no amount of extra clips can make it better.
Also, the MAC and FX versions are both Animeigo rips. The Animeigo footage in general was taken from a better preserved source than the Robotech ones, and were digitally restored and remastered to appear more crisp and vibrant. You won't find any of that in the Robotech DVDs. Besides Minmay sounds so much better in Macross than Minmei in Robotech.
