I will be ordering the Weber Concertino this week and returning my borrowed copy. I wanted to know which version was "better" editing wise. The one that I see pop up alot is the Christmann but I've seen many other versions IE: Hite, Strasser, Fischer, etc

off the top of my head i know not to use the Kjos edition. It cuts almost half of the piece and uses some "easy" articulations (i.e. sluring most of the fast stuff).

I use the Henle urtext version. it came with two different editions within in - one is a transcription of the original score and the other is one edited by Carl Baermann. the Baermann edition is very detailed and i prefer its articulation markings. and its easy to read!

The Schirmer edition has no particular claim to accuracy. However, it's what contest judges learned the piece from, what they will have in front of them (if they have anything) and what they expect. Also, it's cheap. By all means get the Henle edition, but you should at least look at the Schirmer.
If you use the Henle edition at a solo and ensemble contest, get it into the judge's hands ahead of time.

(if they have anything)......hmmmmm. Here in Wisconsin, all festival music is chosen from a list provided by our Wisconsin School Music Association and the student is required to provide the judge with an original edition of the solo being played. Our WSMA adjudicators are not expected to bring their own music, it's the students responsibility. I believe the Schirmer edition of the Weber Concertino is the one on our list, for better or for worse........

In New York, the NYSSMA manual states that any edition of the Weber, other than the Rubank edition, is acceptable.
On a related note - I didn't know there was a Rubank edition ...GBK

I have used the BRS Music, Inc edition of the Concertino, Op. 26. It
is
abridged (with cuts) and is ideal for contest. It comes with the parts
and CD. Measure numbers are included, ready to go. The CD has the
performance track and three practice tracks at various tempos.

My experience: to study and understand the piece deeply, use Henle. To learn the thing for contest, use Schirmer.

So if I'm auditioning
the Schirmer would be the route to go?
( I am required to supply my judge with a copy)

The Schirmer is quite standard, so I would say it's safe for an audition. I'd be interested to see what others on the board think.
I should ask what level you're auditioning at, and how long you have to prepare?

The summer program? It's as fine and reputable a program as any in the country.
Far be it from me to pretend to be the ultimate authority on auditioning, but my guess is that the Schirmer would serve you well.
But I think others on the board would agree that it's AT LEAST as important to make sure you have a good coach to go along with it. You don't know what you don't know about a piece until someone with experience leads you through it.
All the very best of luck!
