Best version of SHIII to get for a Windows 8.1 user?

Hi - I'd really like to play Silent Hunter III, but am unsure whether it would be best to get the Steam version, or a boxed version or possibly a download from another retail outlet? I'm running Windows 8.1 and am based in the UK (if directed to retailers.

I'm prefer a download version if it's still mod-able, as the computer I use for playing games does not have an optical drive, so it's a bit of a faff to install a game from disc,

I would like to run Mods such as GWX Gold and any mods that allow me to play at 1080p or otherwise improve the graphics and gameplay.

If this has all been answered before, then I won't be offended if you just point me at the relevant threads!

I know SH4 has better graphics, but I much prefer the Battle of the Atlantic setting and have heard that SHIII has better game play.
