The 2009 order is the 2006 episodes in chronological order with additional episodes filling in the gaps that the 2006 episodes didn't animate prior to
Disappearance. It's highly probable that this "re-airing" order is designed to end with the movie as the climax of the "tale" similar to how the jumbled broadcast order ended with
Melancholy VI. I would recommend watching the 2009 order and then finishing with the movie. This allows you to see everything prior to December 24th in the
Haruhi series.
I would also recommend watching as many of the
Endless Eight episodes that you can take and then skipping to the 8th episode of that arc (19th episode in 2009 order). This allows you to experience what the creators were intending without allowing yourself to become bored with that story.
