Version 2 is by far the better description of the two. Meta descriptions should be written to:

  • Summarize the content in the most human way possible. Write for people, not crawlers.
  • Focus on targeted keywords that the content is speaking to. Target 1-3 specific keywords to speak about but making sure to avoid blatantly listing them to avoid stuffing penalties.
  • Be approximately 160 characters long.

These descriptions act as your billboard in the search results so keep that in mind as you write it. Always ask yourself the question "Would this make me click the article?".

And, don't get upset that it might not appear how you have it written in your desc. Google always reserves the right to alter and or display whatever they want in the snippet descriptions.
