Any thoughts on whether any (or all 5) albums are better masterings than other CD releases?

Stick to the original labels unless you are looking for otherwise unobtainable titles or willing to take a chance.

There are several companies issuing out-of-copyright material on the cheap. The chances are that they are sourced from CDs or vinyl.

I have a few such multiple title sets on the Avid Jazz label. They are mostly used for casual listening. If I particularly like an album I will buy an original label one.

The Steve Hoffman Forum covers the topic somewhat.

Original labels sometimes issue such sets, which should be OK.
