For most people, I’d recommend the original AeroPress. As you can see in the discussion above, the differences between the two models are small, and the Go has some downsides when you’re brewing at home. The regular AeroPress is plenty small enough to travel with occasionally, so unless you’re looking for a dedicated travel brewer that never leaves your bag, it’s the better option on balance.

If you are looking for that travel brewer, then the Go is a great option. It packs down smaller and has its own mug—though it does really feel like it’s an attempt to solve a problem that most people didn’t have.
