Using the old "Rolling Stone" star ranking system, and ranking only the added tracks as if they were there own album, this is how I'd rank the series of albums so far, sans the original album.
so this is only the extra cuts on each album, as if they were their own release:
**** 1/2 - Some Girls Deluxe - 4.5 stars - a very solid consistent album worthy of it's own release, and on it's own, one of the top albums in the last 40 years.
**** - Goats Head Soup Deluxe - 4.0 stars - some stellar 'new' tracks, Criss Cross, Scarlet, All The Rage.
*** 1/2 - Exile on Main Street - 3.5 stars - a little uneven, but also a bit of 'alright', with a completely bullet-proof single, Plundered My soul pulling it up half a star.
*** - Tattoo You Deluxe - 3.0 stars solid release with some good songs. Nothing standout.
*** - Sticky Fingers Deluxe - 3.0 stars - Alright, nothing bad here. If you didn't have it on the Hot Rocks "Shelley" vinyl, then Worth it for the Clapton Brown Sugar if nothing else.

The live concert/tracks on SF make it my favourite when I sum it up, though.

Ya-Ya’s: ****1/2 - Half a new live album from the same recordings that made one of the best live albums of all time. Unmissable.
Exile: ***1/2 Uneven collection of songs. Frankensteined or not, I like what they did to the tracks. ‘Plundered’ and ‘Following The River’ stands up against the tracks they made during 1971-72. Love ‘I’m Not Signifying’ as well.
Some Girls: ***** - The best of them all. Great songs, works as an album in it’s own right. Every track is made uniformed. Jagger’s overdubs are more subtle here and to great effect.
Sticky Fingers: **** - Again uneven, but the live tracks saves it. Kick-a** versions from the Round House and Leeds. Great outtake of ‘Bitch’ as well.
Goats Head Soup: **** - Works better than it should. Short on new tracks, but the Glyn Johns mixes are actually superior to what they released eventually. The Giles Martin mix is also superior to the original and of course: Brussels Affair.
Tattoo You: *** - Okay collection, but harmed by an awful mix and horrible mastering. It really sounds bad and is compressed to death. There are fine songs like ‘Troubles Are Comin’, but it’s almost unlistenable.

I was hooked the moment I heard Bill's taut but rubbery bass encircling the whole thing. It sounded like it belonged to the Exile era. I can see where the end product was a little too much like Tumbling Dice. To me it's the best song of all the bonus cuts. To each his own.

I love the bonus version of 100 Years Ago on Soup

Yes, this is how I feel exactly. SF is my favorite because of full Leeds '71 and the killer extended 'Bitch', but as for "new" bonus tracks, 'Some Girls' by a country mile and 'Exile' a distant last.

It's all about the Roundhouse live tracks for me, Leeds never really did it for me.
