Definitely get Legacy of Darkness! It's got noticeably better graphics, thanks to its expansion pack support, new levels were added (the new first level is pretty cool, for instance), the new first main character, Cornell, is incredibly powerful and awesome, particularly in wolf mode (yes, he's a werewolf), updated versions of the original two quests are there for you to unlock after you beat the game with Cornell and then beat the special second smaller mode with ... um, I forget that guy's name, but his quest is to rescue these six children in a limited level set within a strict time limit. Do that then you unlock the original two quests, though given that Cornell goes through every level in the game, while Carrie and Rinehardt each only go through some, his might be the best quest. Oh yes, he's also got no time limit and only one ending; no "take too long and you get the bad ending" stuff.
It does still require controller pak for saving and the save file is larger in the second game than the first one, but it's not too bad. Though I do kind of hate Konami for doing that, given that the Japanese versions of the N64 Castlevania/Goemon/Hybrid Heaven games all have built-in EEPROMs... :(
