May as well ask this here.

What's the best way to watch ROTJ OOT? Harmy's DeEd 1.0 is awfully spartan and obviously incomplete, so I'm wondering what's the next best thing.

 TeamBlu did some nice upscales of the GOUT, which is a bit more consistent in image quality than the DeEds, though it's sub-HD. Puggo has a 16mm scan of the film coming out soon enough, and Harmy's 2.0 ROTJ is currently being worked on, along with Team Negative1's 35mm scans. However, this film is probably the most neglected of the three when it comes to preservation efforts.

 I'm following all of those closely. And yeah it seems to take back seat to SW and ESB with every major effort to preserve the trilogy unless it's something like a Laserdisc preservation, which are subpar to a videophile like me. (Not to say they have no worth - they do, but I'm looking for something that won't make my picky eyes bleed.)

I guess the GOUT upscale will have to do for the moment. I've got all the various audio selections for it so I don't have to limit myself to the stereo mix.

 Actually, I have decided to do Jedi first for my restorations, as it has definitely been the most neglected, and has arguably the most objectional changes with that horrible dance number (replacing the slightly less horrible original one) and the Hayden ghost mess at the end. I don't like Jedi as much, apart from the space scenes which are incredible, but it needs a proper restoration done.
