Ideally it is best to just read the manga, but Ultimate follows the manga whereas the original does not. It is kind of like Fullmetal Alchemist versus Brotherhood, except the original FMA had a lot of interesting ideas (sans the Germany stuff) so it holds up nicely as an alternative timeline. I feel like with Hellsing the manga is just flat out better.
That being said, the original anime has a more gothic and dark aesthetic, which I really like.
