Things get really messy if you're talking about continuing the Deluxe HC's through the Zero-Hour reboot. ... you've got 61 issues of Volume 4 LoS-H and 5 annuals prior to the reboot, 18 issues of it's sister series Legionnaries, and 23 issues of Valor, and the 5 issue Timber Wolf mini-series. If you just limited the HC's to the Volume 4 Legion title, you'd probably be looking at another 3 or 4 Deluxe HC's to cover from the end of Levitz's 2nd run in '89 to the Zero Hour reboot in '94.
I may be a minority in this respect, but I'd love to see the Giffen-Bierbaum stories collected.  Everything afterward, however, is dreck as far as I'm concerned (until the Lightning Saga, anyway) and material I wouldn't touch with a 50-foot pole.  I'd like to see the collections run up through v.4 # 50 (last Bierbaum issue), v.4 Annual # 4, Legionnaires # 15 (which I believe was the last Bierbaum issue), and the Timber Wolf series.

I never picked up the Valor series.  Was it written by the Bierbaums, or someone else?  Was it any good?
