In general I find that a particular conductor will not always provide the best interpretaion of all of a composer's compositions, so in the case of Beethoven and Mozart, I will have separate LPs of their works performed/conducted by those I think the best; but of course it's entirely subjective.
Another box set of the Beethoven symphonies I have and like is that by Karl Böhm, conducting the Weiner Philharmoniker:
