I'd be with Nesa and GOLLUM on this one - only if there was a possibility to choose When you are mostly ordering the books from store you only see the resulting book - so thats why I now have 5 of the Dresden books with English covers and 3 with American covers not a pretty picture in the bookshelf.

And more about the book covers -
I was pleasantly surprised with the covers of Brust Dzur and Lynch Lamora - where a part of the cover was relief not flat paper. Although these will be hard to keep in tact, especially if you have as little shelf space as I do.
