How Can I Get The Whole Gene Expression Information In One Cell Line?

Dear all, I want to get the whole gene expression information in one cell line. And I find that ENCODE has the cell line's RNA-seq information. Howerer, there are five labs doing the experiment ( http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?hgsid=292551613&c=chr22&g=wgEncodeRnaSeqSuper). Some are long RNA-seq, And some are Sm RNA-seq and so on. I don't know which one can stand for the whole cell's gene expression information. Who can tell me how to choose? It's very kind of you!

There is no "one" expression profile, what is expressed strongly depends on culture conditions.

Each lab was doing different experiments, if you are interested in only one measurement of gene expression in a cell line, you can select any "whole cell PolyA-selected" sample and their replicates, such as the Caltech data set.

OK, i know that. I'm new in RNA-seq. And I also have two simple questions. (1) Many labs have two replicates. Is it OK that I choose any one? (2) What is the RNA extract? I find three kinds: total RNA, longpolyA+RNA, longpolyA-RNA. What are their differences? It's very kind of you to answer my questions!
