I prefer the reissue Rolled Gold + to Hot Rocks. Rolled Gold + has every song on Hot Rocks + some more charting songs from More Hot Rocks and a few not on either compilation like Little Red Rooster and I Wanna Be Your Man.

This is a fab list and I'm pleased to own a very good many number on this list...interesting on the rankings as well.
I'm sure not everyone will agree. Or will you?:

The one thing that always bugged me about Hot Rocks was the exclusion of The Last Time.

Absolutely. And She's A Rainbow. I mean seriously.

Perhaps DECCA wanted to save some hits for More Hot Rocks?

Funny you should say that...I was thinking about this.
Here's my thoughts. At the end of the contract ABKCO wanted a big pay day thinking 'this was it', their biggest act is gone. Let's throw the best greatest hits we can.
HOT ROCKS.
It was, it was fantastic. But it missed some things, like She's A Rainbow. Why no SAR? I think that the TSMR album was fairly roundly derided when it first came out and the band quickly found it's footing again with JJF and BB/LIB.
So when they put the greatest hits album together, they didn't even consider those beautiful little psychedelic ditties from 67-68. Or HYSYMBSITS etc.
When the album became an uber-hit, I think they scrambled to find a companion piece, maybe not expecting they'd even need to.
So MORE while it has great cuts just feels like such a hodge-podge. I don't think you'd put out Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks in those sequences today with the benefit of hindsight.
But what a great one-two punch for the band from the record company they loathed.

I have a soft spot for Hot Rocks, as it was my first-ever Stones purchase in the late-90’s. However, it’s a bit of an odd compilation in terms of the track-listing: there’s a fair bit missing. Big Hits (and Fazed Cookies) completes the picture, though. I’m still surprised it sells so steadily, considering there’s far more comprehensive compilations that’ve been released subsequently, as faceless as they may be, of course: 40 Licks, Grr, etc. If you just want the cream of the 60’s, I’d opt for the re-release of Rolled Gold. That’s a terrific overview.

I would include The Allman Brothers Band's long out of print "The Road Goes On Forever".
I own some version of the Top 9 and many of the others. My life has been validated!
