Both are pretty good once you modify the FOV to be not-shit. Ranger Hardcore on your very first playthrough was a mistake. So was paying money for that mode in LL.
LL had the problem of "stealth is better now, because all enemies are fucking retarded and can't see or hear anything", call of duty knifing, throwing items and claymores all thrown on the same button with some radial menu bullshit, and the game mechanics are not in any way balanced for Ranger mode. Just try switching throwables or knowing on your first go what is and isn't a QTE when that part of the HUD is shut off for no reason.
As far as Redux?
>2033
Fixes some glitches like the "never fully reload the revolvershotgunthing", general visual improvements on everything down to facial animation, but changes the gameplay to Last Light style and they didn't even bother to remotely make your shadow match your movements in any of the scripted sequences where you get knocked the fuck down.
>Last Light
Yeah guys! Let's buy the same game a second time within a year of its release!
List of changes?
>includes the DLC you probably already have or don't care about
>some game mode that ostensibly makes it more survival horror but probably just makes it play more like 2033
