Well, I'm partial to Juan's remix and the kickless version included on
the Retro Techno compilation.

"There were five official versions of the song. The first two were
released in 1987: the famous 7:23 mix called "Strings Of Life (Piano
Mix)" or just "Strings Of Life", and a 6:56 remix called "Strings
(Flam-Boy-Ant Mix)" or just "Strings". In 1989, two new remixes were
licensed exclusively to UK & European labels: a Juan Atkins remix
called "Strings Of Life '89 (Juan's Magic Mix)", and an uncredited
remix called "Strings of Life (Exclusive Remix)" (issued on a split
release <http://www.discogs.com/release/61252> with Model 500). In
1991, an 8:23 kick drum-free version titled "Strings Of Life
(Unreleased Mix)", "Strings Of Life (Remix)", or "Strings Of The
Strings Of Life" first appeared, and featured additional production by
Carl Craig & Derrick May. This mix was "unreleased" in the sense that
it was new at the time and was never officially released on a single;
only on compilations. Numerous compilations feature early fades and
other space-saving edits of the original 1987 Piano Mix, the 1989
Exclusive Remix, and the 1991 Unreleased Mix."
