I'm generally a Woolsey apologist, but the GBA localization of FF VI is pretty much definitive. Censorship aside, there are a lot of little details that were mistranslated or omitted in the SNES version, and the plot is less clear than it could be as a result. The GBA localization fixes a lot of errors and IMO retains a lot of flavor, even keeping or adapting some of Woolsey's jokes ("son of a submariner" -> "son of a sandworm").
This is a situation unlike FF IV, where there really is no "perfect" localization (the SNES translation is pretty rough, the PS and GBA translations have some inaccuracies and out-of-place jokes, and the DS translation is high quality but very stylized, plus the game is fundamentally different). It's also unlike Chrono Trigger, where the Woolsey translation is similarly riddled with inaccuracies, but the accurate DS translation is pretty boring.
