Very interested in a complete 4:3 set of B5.

It appears that iTunes has Babylon 5 in 4:3, however the quality leaves something to be desired:

Video is 640 x 480@29.97fps Mpeg4 (low complexity) at 1.5 Mbps - with audio as 128kbps AAC - total file size is approx 496 mb, and of course the whole bundle is wrapped up in DRM.

Was the netflix version any better ?

I'd be willing to willing to start doing LD rips, if I had someone else to share the burden. I have an okay LD player (up-market Pioneer CLD-99 clone), and fairly decent capture hardware.
