Opinions wanted- What's Best WB DVD Set?

greetings to all- the passing winter has revived my inner couch-spudness.
I've recently gone thru the Popeye & Woody Woodpecker sets as well as a
medium-poor quality collection of "Forbidden" toons and mishegas.
I'm old enough to remember watching 1st run toons at the movies, so I
natcherally
think quality toons ceased in the late 60's & Daffy rules .
Und zo: which WB DVD sets offer the best treasure/trash ratios. Auteur
centric collections
a plus. All opinions gratefully appreciated. Decision of the judges is
final, objects in mirror are probably hallucinations anyway....
regards, bob

So, um....the Looney Tunes Boxsets would be next, then?
Or are we already accepting those as a given?

(Because if we are, we can move straight on to the Warner vintage-Hanna
Barbera sets of Flintstones 1-3, Jonny Quest, Yogi Bear, and Huckleberry
v.1)

The 4-disk ones are better than the 2-disk ones, obviously... :)

(Since the 2-disks are just best-of condensations.)

Well, I rather like Volume 4, on the strength of its Frank
Tashlin DVD, which is mightily funny. On the other hand, one of the
DVDs is a Speedy Gonzales set, but at least that one doesn't get
worse than the Sylvester-Speedy cartoons.

Still, 90 minutes of Frank Tashlin in a row is really very
satisfying. I mean, it can lead off with The Case Of The Stuttering
Pig, and it doesn't let up, except for that one with the squirrels.

Gentlemen! Exactly the sort of discussion & commentary I was hoping for...
Any other opinions?
