The 'Gold' edition adds some extra ships that you would otherwise have to "unlock" through Uplay. Not worth it at all in my opinion.

I really want to try SH5 but all the bad reviews and the multiple mods make me unsure if I should risk buying it. It may be only $15 but the gold is $40 and I'm disabled on a fixed income so I have to watch every penny and I can't afford to waste my money on garbage software.

I got mine for $5 on Amazon. You may have bad luck with discs but I positively hate downloads.

So is it worth the risk and if so what mod is considered THE one to use?

No such thing. People can give you opinions on what they likd, but as far as I'm concerned the "Must Have Mod" is a myth. There are just too many good ones out there.
