The Penguin translations are quite good. I'd get Penguin's "The Sagas of Icelanders" (Penguin 1997) and then Penguin's "Njal's Saga" (2002). With the "Sagas of Icelanders" you get a good translation of Egil's Saga, Laxdaela Saga, and more. Egil's Saga and Njal's Saga are my two favorites (although I do really like Laxdaela Saga). When you are feeling really adventurous, get a copy of the Heimskringla.

The online web versions are all old and painful translations.
