if you're doing academic research or writing, the translation matters because some are definitely more accurate than others. if you're just reading it, then it's a matter of preference. the translation i posted a link to is what was assigned for a political philosophy class i took years back at the beginning of my undergrad. i still use it for papers because it's very easy to follow (and it has about four years' of notes in the margins). but for citing and quoting, i use whatever translation the class is using.

I think Plato's most interesting idea was the Tripartite soul.
