If those recent 2010 reissues had included the remixed stereo versions only I'd have more than been happy as all previous versions (especially on Charly were badly mastered, muddy and inferior in many other ways). The 2010 stereo mixes are much sharper and crunchier. (I've only ever owned reissued Elevators albums and always put the muddy sound down to the primitiveness of the recording, not knowing it was partially due to the prior bad sources for remastering)
However, the mono versions are a revelation - especially hearing albums I have been familiar with for around 20 years almost anew. The 2010 Easter Everywhere mono edition is astonishing to be honest (and given it was transferred from a vinyl source is even more impressive, because it certainly doesn't sound like it). Yes, you can finally hear the 'thunder effect' on Earthquake!
Edit - so in answer to your question, the mono versions of those issues are definitely my go to versions.
