Its also been suggested to pair up the earlier stuff (FFA #2, MSH #20 AT #1 - 8) with Triumph and Torment. Not having read the GN I don't know if that would work out?
Triumph and Torment is an excellent work, but dramatically different in style and tone from the early 1970s Doctor Doom material. I don't really know if that would be the happiest marriage for a single collected edition. You'd likely be better off combining that initial material with Emperor Doom if you were going to stretch all the way into the late 1980s.  
Whither Super-Villain Team-Up?
That's my preferred option: essentially, take the Essential Super-Villian Team-Up and split it down the middle for two Masterworks. But I know some don't care much for that prospect, and the Doctor Doom from the early 1970s aren't a direct lead-in.
