Intro Physics Resnick and Halliday which book I should choose?

Their man title is Fundamentals of Physics and its been around in one form or another since the 1960's. The latest and greatest version is the 10th edition:

and the first volume on Amazon:

One other thing to think about is some used student copies of this book may be marked up with highlighter which can distract from the reading experience.

Also ABE Books is a good resource for finding used copies with descriptions on book quality:

Another possible book resource is the IB Physics book by KA Tsokos, its a bit smaller than Halliday but packaged quite well for freshman level physics:

and lastly, there the free books by Benjamin Crowell at:

Yeah, I liked the green book too. It came out a few years after I graduated. The standard at the time was the royal blue book. Our school used another authors book which wasn't as good and we were only 15 miles from RPI where Resnick taught. Go figure!
