Well TR was released before PF, but he also did it already with Reservoir Dogs.
I prefer Scott's version and think it's perfect the way it was.

What I meant by that was if Tarantino was to remake the film today, I think it would be too much like Pulp Fiction and many would sigh because they'd feel that it had been done before (ie. Pulp Fiction).
If Tarantino would've chosen to direct the movie himself, it would've been hailed as his greatest work and today we'd credit True Romance, not Pulp Fiction, as the movie that launched Tarantino and his unique style to stardom.
I read an article that mentioned that Tony Scott read both scripts for True Romance and Reservoir Dogs and he wanted to direct both movies. Tarantino agreed to let Scott direct one and Tarantino would direct the other. Tarantino gave Scott the choice.
Scott chose True Romance.
Personally I think that script fit Scott's style better anyhow.
