I use the MT Library edition, too, for university (graduate and undergrad)
students, and this spring I guest-taught two high school AP classes and
used it with them, too. For the reasons Larry says, plus the maps, the
glossary, the copious annotations, etc. I require students to lead
discussions, and especially to prepare for that, if not for every class
meeting, they are wise to be familiar with the annotations.

Re: which edition of AHF?
I use the Mark Twain Library edition. Its affordable, reliable,
includes the original illustrations, and it supports the Mark Twain
Papers project.
