Broadly speaking, if you order a new 120, then you are likely to get the V2 - I don't think the V1 is in production any more. There are different firmwares for each of the respective units, so be sure to get the right one.

If I personally had the choice, I'd go for the V1 as it does seem to be ever so slightly more reliable accross different exchanges/chipsets/ISPs.

From my understanding v2 uses a newer version of the Infineon chipset so i would say v2 would be the one to go for. I've got a v2 on my TalkTalk LLU line and on a downstream attenuation of 29db, it syncs at just under 18.5 meg :D Whereas my old trusty Billion 7800N (broadcom 6358 chipset) synced no higher than 15.5 meg :shock:

My 2850n with TT (LLU) is getting maximum synchronise 15,something mb (SNR magrin) 29db
then is true the router (according to the chipest) depending the exchange,s chipest

For 2 years i thought matching router chipset to dslam (exchange) chipset was old wives tale so continued using my Billion 7800N...however after switching to the Draytek 120 / Cisco EA4500 combo, i really think matching chipsets will give you the highest sync possible. Also bear in mind that SOME TT LLU exchanges use broadcom chipset ( mainly ex-tiscali exchanges) so using an infineon router in such cases won't be ideal. In your case i would give the Draytek 120 a try, if no improvement then try a broadcom router such as Billion 7700N and use your Draytek 2850 in PPPoE mode only.
