Default Rollin DVDs: best versions

I have an urge to get back into the film of the late Jean Rollin and feel my VHS stuff needed upgrading.

But, my god! There are a lot of different releases of his stuff! I read the thread about The Grapes Of Death with interest, but wonder if I could ask you guys for any more tips on releases with priorities being (in order) uncut status, original aspect ratio, original language (but English friendly) and then anamorphic picture. I don't mind non-anamorphic releases of 1.66:1 films very much at all, so that is fine, but I do prefer good transfers and uncut!

I know the Encore releases are the most collectible (and increasingly expensive!) but are they necessarily the best? How are the Redemptions?

I am particularly interested in:

The Living Dead Girl
Fascination
The Grapes Of Death
Frissons des Vampires
Requiem For A Vampire
La Vampire Nué


but open to recommendations over other films.

I've looked on DVD Compare, but wanted some "horse's mouth" information from you good people.
