I think the original with effects sounds the best. The noise is less intrusive than the artifacts added by the noise reduction IMO.

You did a good job with the effects, the reverb wasn't over done (which is very easy to do) and the compression added fullness. Great job.

You should be able to reduce the noise while recording, what is your recording setup? Are you using the line input on your sound card? If so, try increasing the volume the line input in your sound card's mixer. This will (hopefully) put your guitar volume above the noise floor so it won't be as audible. The volume of your recording was really low, so try increasing it as much as you can without clipping. You could also an Art Tube MP preamp ($30 or so) to boost the volume because the stock computer sound card is very noisy and the preamp should give more volume with less noise.
