These are I believe the best quality releases for the 8 Attack on Titan OVAs.
[Saizen-Soldado] for the first 5, [BlurayDesuYo] for the last 3.
If you think there is something better for one of these, leave a comment. Screenshot comparisons are also welcome.
I have uploaded (in my opinion) slightly better versions of OVAs 2 and 3 to https://nyaa.si/view/1144327 and https://nyaa.si/view/1144328 (thanks TekWarfare!). The differences are however very minor. For the remaining OVAs the ones in this torrent still remain the best in my opinion. Look at TekWarfare's comment below for other considerations.
Yep, just checked it. These are the best quality released for the OVA on the net. Thanks!
Btw, i just noticed that 4-5 is from a broadcast (720p). Does this mean that a 1080p recording is possible?
OVA 3.25 The Sudden Visitor The Torturous Curse of Youth
[luckysubs][Shingeki-no-kyojin][OVA2-Hi10][9DF1C511]
Higher resolution

(I forgot to turn off subtitles for this comparison so to make it clear - these are not hardcoded subs)
OVA 3.5 Ilse's Notebook Memoirs of a Recon Corps Member
[luckysubs][Shingeki-no-kyojin][OVA1-Hi10][C5984A1C]
Lower resolution and stretched vertically but doesn't have the watermark or hardcoded subs
[SOFCJ-Raws] Shingeki no Kyojin - 03.5 OAD (MBS 1280x720 x264 VFR 10bit AAC)
Slightly sharper lines but cropped by a few pixels horizontally and has some noise. Has the mbs watermark instead and harcoded subs

OVA 3.75 Distress
Shingeki no Kyojin - OAD 03 (DVD 1024x576 AVC AAC)
There really isn't much between these two. Slightly sharper lines and lacks the green tint but has a line a few pixels in from the right.

OVA 0.5A/B No Regrets
[Ohys-Raws] Shingeki no Kyojin - 00.5 OAD (MBS 1280x720 x264 AAC)
Slightly sharper lines and no watermark but cropped by a few pixels horizontally and still has hardcoded subs
Shingeki no Kyojin - OAD 04 (DVD 1024x576 AVC AAC) + Shingeki no Kyojin - OAD 05 (DVD 1024x576 AVC AAC)
Lower resolution, stretched vertically but no watermark or hardcoded subs

Unfortunately the DVD version was resized by diff pics do you'll have to open the images in a new tab and zoom in so they're the same size and flick between tabs. You can also download the images and flick between them in your image viewer - I use honeyview and have set "stretch small images" and "fit in window" so I can directly compare images of different resolutions very quickly. The files save with a .dib extension but open in an image viewer.
I prefer the versions without hardcoded subs despite sacrificing quality and (strangely) the aspect ratio
For anyone looking for the best release, I would offer my own: https://nyaa.si/view/1368727
I significantly improved subs for every OVA and fixed the video for most of them. Highly recommend.
