Been awhile since I've seen either, but I remember Red Dragon being much closer to the book than Manhunter was.

As far as Hannibal Rising goes, wasn't that just movie studios pushing the author to write a new book to turn into a movie? I think it takes away from the Lecter character by giving him a reason to turn evil as a young person. Just have him be born evil.

Actually, watching both gives you a pretty good picture of the book. Manhunter explores Dollarhyde's connection to his grandmother in more depth, while Red Dragon focused more on the conversion to the Dragon. Watching both gives a pretty complete look at Harris' Dollarhyde from the book.
