How this version is going to differ from the original and the Redux? Is there going to be footage that wasn't in either version or are they just going to trim the Redux a little bit.

Regardless I REALLY REALLY hope they remove the plantation scene.

As of now I prefer the original as I don't think the Redux really adds anything but maybe the Final Cut will be an improvement as Coppola has said this is his true vision of the film.

Apparently, it's the original cut plus the French plantation scene. The run time suggests that there were probably other small scenes added from Redux (hopefully one of them being the scene where Kilgore is looking for his surfboard with his helicopter).

Geez why does Coppola love that plantation scene so much, it adds little to nothing to the plot
