I'd agree with ChainSawAsh on ANH:R Mark II (or 2.55, as the case may be)...

 

The only other things I'd add to that list is returning Vader's eyes to red, returning the "spinning camera shot" of the Falcon as it flies past, fixing the "monochrome effect" (loss of all color other than the red lights) we see in that shot of Vader getting the TIE Pilots to follow him down the hall, and the brief glimpse of Tarkin brooding right before the Death Star blows up.

 

In fact, instead of showing the exact same footage of the beam building up in the chamber (with operators shielding their eyes), I'd remove that and just show Tarkin and then the explosion as before (with the beams animating into position before it blows... subtle, without a complete repeat of the previous footage).

 

 

For ESB:R Mark II, the one change I can think of immediately is restoring all the TIE fighters in ESB to brilliant blue. ;)

 

Of course I'd really love to see someone restore the deleted ANH footage and come up with a cut that has the option to play the movie with those scenes interspersed back into the cut.
