It is quite likely that Dynamite has only acquired the rights to do new Spirit stories.  On an article in Comics Beat in December of 2012, Denis Kitchen stated that DC has the reprint rights to the Spirit for, "the foreseeable future.  There is a contractual formula I can't divulge under which the rights would revert."  Until there is a definitive statement, I'm guessing they don't have the rights to do reprints.

Regarding the Spirit Archives, I have 16 of of the volumes in addition to the complete Kitchen Sink comic run & the Warren/Kitchen Sink magazine run.  The archives are not without their flaws.  The size is a bit small for my taste and the some of the reproductions of the linework isn't as sharp as in the magazine run.   To me, a better edition would go to a magazine size (at least) and I would skip the Non-Eisner material.
