What version of the Tao Te Ching has excellent commentaries on each of the verses?

Rather for commentaries I would go for a good book about Pre Han Philosophy and Pre Han Culture = "China" before 211 BCT.

Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Logicians, Legalists, Yin Yang School.

Laozi / Dao De Jing is a work of Philosophy of this time and influenced by all of them.

It is more important to understand the roots and the context of Daodejing than to look at the blossoms (commentaries)
