Is there any preference on vs, vs., or versus in titles when it's not related to a battle of the bands kinda thing?

I just seeded a new digital release (https://musicbrainz.org/release/ade0d24c-e57a-4...) but noticed when doing so that the Apple Music listing for that album has a different barcode, different track ISRCs, and is listed on AM itself as supporting Dolby Atmos. Is that enough differentiation to put it as its own release or should I still group it with the other services since otherwise it is exactly the same
notthejohn (@_discord_191027940656414729:chatbrainz.org) a release being available in a specific format like Dolby Atmos is normally not enough to consider it separate, but if the barcode is different it should be a different release
the recordings should be the same though afaik, with multiple ISRCs

elomatreb (@_discord_681477816029675521:chatbrainz.org) OK, noted. I figured the Atmos alone wasn't enough to distinguish it since it wasn't listed separately or anything but the Atmos + the differing barcode gave me pause.
Especially since the barcode for Spotify and Qobuz did match

jwillikers[m]: In titles, I would follow the artists’ lead there, at least for vs vs. versus. All else equal, the abbreviation should be “vs.” (lower-case, period), but spelled out, it’s a big word, and so should be “Versus” with a capital V. All IMO, YMMV, etc.
Though if for some reason a legal case is referenced, it should just be “v.’ (one letter plus period).
