Old player returning - questions ?

Greetings,
I played LotRO solid for 6 months, ending in January this year just after Mines came out. I had only made it to around Quest 10 of the Epic Quests as most players had swapped over to MoM and I found it difficult to find enough players to do the quests.
I've been playing DDO since then, with my subscription ending a couple of weeks ago just after it went "free" to play.
If I reinstall now from the original Shadows DVD, I will need to patch for a day or two just to get up to the current version and that will not include the MoM expansion will it ?
Should I go with the TDM version or the Pando version ?
Does the version that I download through TDM or Pando include the MoM content or is it just the SoA content (and once I upgrade to MoM, I'll need to DL the MoM content) ?
On my account page with Turbine, I can 'resume' or 'upgrade' my Standard account account, both lead to different pages:
The Lord of the Rings Online™: Mines of Moria™ Digital Expansion - US $9.99
This DIGITAL EXPANSION is available for purchase in
I could also upgrade my Open Beta account with the following :
The Lord of the Rings Online™: Mines of Moria™ Digital Complete Edition - US $9.99
This DIGITAL COMPLETE EDITION is available for purchase in
I'm unsure which I should do but I'm assuming that I should go with the upgrade from my Standard account.
Help...

For installing I'd recommend you get it off their site or whatever. It'll cut your patching time down by quite a bit. I made the mistake of using my discs once a few months back. It was a painful download.
I have a lifetime sub, so I won't comment on the subbing questions.
Well,
This is what it says at the main website page:
During The Lord of the Rings Online™ Welcome Back Week from October 15th through October 21st, you can play your old characters for free** and get a +25% XP Bonus***. Plus, if you come back now and renew your subscription to LOTRO with any 3-, 6-, or 12-month $9.99/month* subscription plan by October 31st, we’ll give you The Lord of the Rings Online™: Siege of Mirkwood™ digital expansion for free* (regular price $19.99)!
You may want to consider the above option
But, you're still going to have to buy Mines of Moria in order to get Siege of Mirkwood.
Hedonismbot: Your latest performance was as delectable as dipping my bottom over and over into a bath of the silkiest oils and creams.
Indeed, try that OP. ...Because I got that email and my account still shows closed.
Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.
Thanks for the replies. I've got it sorted now.
Downloaded the Pando version (6.4G) which includes both SoA and MoM.
Upgraded my account to include MoM @ $9.99 per month (3 month sub)
Installed it, logged in and patched it (1 minute @ 400 Kb/s).
Started playing, finding myself at Rivendell (lvl 50 Hunter) I set off down to kill a few giants and drakes and prompty got myself eaten by an elite lvl 40 drake. Guess I'll have to kill a few lower lvl mobs to get myself back in focus (been 10 months since I played).
