I have played most Pokemon games, but I am deciding between Pokemon Sun/Moon/Ultra and Brilliant Diamond.

I have never played either of these games not even their original versions. What do you think?

Additionally, is Sun/Moon good or is the Ultra version better?

Platinum came out a year after Diamond and Pearl, it made a lot of changes to the games. From the top of my head these are the most important ones:

Expanded Pokedex from 151 to 210 or so pokemon.
Revamped team galactic, changes their bases' looks and adding tons of dialogue.
Gym leaders, galatic leaders and elite four have improved teams due to the added pokemon.
Improved sprites although this doesn't really matter at this point.
Added trainers that follow you and turn areas into pure double battles for a while.
Improved the big showdown with team galatic and gave Giratina a role in the story.
