Star Trek blurays?

So I finally made the move to bluray, and can't stand how the DVDs look on my HD TV, so I'm thinking of getting some ST on bluray. The thing is, I want to buy complete series sets of each series currently out on bluray, and I am finding a bunch of different versions all over the place.

I want sets that will look similar to each other on the shelf.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
 
Why aren't they very good? Do you mean the cases, or the discs themselves?

Plus, the Enterprise and NG sets you linked to look like UK versions.
 
The discs are fine, but the cases for the complete series Blu-ray boxsets are rather. . .meh. Two large, ungainly, and not very sturdy plastic boxes for the TNG set. The TOS set is cardboard slots to hold the discs within one fold up booklet per season. Enterprise is as per TNG, but just the one plastic box. Picture quality on the first season of Enterprise is pretty awful, especially Broken Bow, which I've never seen look so bad. I won't mince my words on that one.

Due to filtration used on all of the shooting of ENT
as well as the VisualFX were
rendered at 480p/16x9 for most of Seasons One and Two
upconverted from 480p to 1080p
SOURCE
(CORRECTION: It seems most VFX shots were actually produced at 480p resolution, with shots only being rendered at 720p/1080p if the visual effects team thought aliasing issues were too severe).
SOURCE
Season 4 has the highest video quality even though not sourced on 35mm film but videocameras.
