After looking at a model thread in HLP with come ACE-inspired WiPs, I've had a sudden urge to play this again. (****ING GRINDING I STILL HATE IT)
I know each title is for a different host (NA and Europe), but I think there's other differences in terms of what patching has done for each host, but I'm not sure what.

Basically I'm looking for the more maintained / popular version, can anyone help me out?

Eh...  I'd have to say probably Air Rivals. I've not been in it in a while though.

Air Rivals had a fan based patching system, but they were dropping it due to lack of people to help.
The game itself seemed to be picking up on their own end of things.

ACE... debatable. They were improving when I left, but the vast multitude of engrish and stuff was an issue.
They were a few patch versions behind, and there wasn't a fan based patcher. I'd consulted the AR community about
picking up the system for AO, even took apart the GBs in patch files... but ultimately I didn't go anywhere. AO hired more people
to be GMs and it smoothed out some.

Well if you wanna see me around now and then, I play Air Rivals.
But I haven't played in a while due to sheer lack of time.

And I think I have a good idea whose WiPs you're talking about

Nevermind, I tried playing both and I just disconnect after being logged in for two minutes.

And I think I have a good idea whose WiPs you're talking about

Why, I have no idea what you mean there.
But seriously, I do like how it's turning out.

@Zane Check you've got the latest updates and your firewall is nulllified.
Either is a common "drop off after a few" cause

[Commander Zane]

Done both and it did nothing for me.
