I would suggest this one, but it may be too expensive.
It has both modern commentaries and a translation of a traditional commentary (the Héshànggōng 河上公, ~50AD) with extensive translator's notes on those commentaries. It is a very good critical edition, but the scholar involved in the modern commentary might have an overly critical tone(!).

The eternal tao brings forth the 10,000 things with names but is itself nameless.
