SE. Even if it's only half as stable as Fallout 4, it would be a huge improvement. Skyrim was always crashing on me.
If you want to play vanilla skyrim with slightly improved graphics go for Special Edition.
If you want to see how amazing Skyrim can be when properly modded, go for The Journey. This modpack isnt only about graphics (although it provides much better visuals then SE). It changes and improves everything in game through mods and makes gameplay much richer and more challenging. Here is sneek peek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpGI1xWjWnE

looking at the mod list for The Journey, I would go with SE, simply to many mods on there I don't like.
Get SE on sale. By the time that happens, more mods will be available. A surprising number are already out there. I imagine the 64 bit version of the game is easier to develop for.
SE edition, downloaded lots of mods for it, not crashed once and feels stable when I play.
When I last played normal edition Skyrim, I also had a tonne of mods and had to save often as I could crash at any point and the game doesn't feel as smooth as it does with SE.
I wouldn't buy the SE edition though, I got it free. It doesn't deserve a price tag if you already own Skyrim.
