I know that, at least, there are two published editions of Johann Stamitz´s Clarinet Concerto in B flat with piano reduction: “Schott Edition” (1967) and “Billaudot Edition” (1982).
In “Billaudot Edition”, the reduction for clarinet and piano was written by Philippe Rougeron and the annotations and cadences were written by Jacques Lancelot .
Instead, in “Schott Edition” , the reduction for clarinet and piano was written by Helmut W. May and the the cadenzas -in the first and second movements- don´t appear written.
In “Billaudot Edition”, there are terms for dynamics, but in "Schott Edition" no dynamic terms are been added.
The articulations are some different in both editions.
Which one you recommended for purchase?
Thanks.

I haven't seen the Billaudot edition, but am familiar with the Schott- which is pretty much is best used if you have an understanding of the performance practise of the period as it is not heavily edited.
You don't mention the MCA edition (Hal Leonard Pub corp, edited by Peter Gradenwitz and with terrible cadenza). I'd avoid this.

It's interesting that this piece came up for discussion. I worked on it many years ago, but haven't pulled it out in ages. It turns out that I have the MCA edition.
I know I'm getting a bit off topic here, but I've always been a bit stumped by the 32nd notes in bars 44 and 45 of the first movement. A reasonable tempo for the movement might be quarter note=88 (it could also work a bit slower or a bit faster), but these notes are awkward and difficult to play in this this tempo range. One could slow everything down a bit so that these two bars sound clean, but that's not ideal. One solution could be to play the concerto on a C clarinet--still difficult, but
32nd notes that are easier to manage.

Many thanks for your answers, Donald and Clarinetguy... Although I am still unsure about which edition buy. I agree with Donald about "Schott" edition is, perhaps, the most used.
