I tried to do this post earlier, but then i looked back on it and decided that this was too hard to break down one by one... every album and every song is different and great for many reasons. I guess ten would be my all time favorite maybe because it's what started my love for Pearl Jam... but every album since has had gem after gem on them!!!! There's no denying that Pearl Jam has rocked every album.
oh and btw- just because I just recently joined doesn't mean that I am a new fan...

Avocado- Brought me back to the PJ fold with a vengence
Vs- An awesome sophomore effort
Backspacer- Just an awesome way to spend just over half an hour
Ten- What can be said
Yield- An adreneline rush from start to finish
All this being said, I love every album they've ever put out and listen to them all.

For me, top 10: 1) Vs. 2) Ten 3) Yield 4) Vitalogy 5) No Code 6) Binaural 7) Riot Act 8) Avocado 9) Backspacer 10) Lightning Bolt
My list would be quite similar to yours. Just swap #3 with #4 and swap #9 with #10.
So funny, I had a hard time with those choices too. I almost switched them to the exact order you suggested! I was listening to Single Theory Podcast episode of favorite/least favorite tracks and found this thread. I was 18 when Ten came out and "grew up" with the band. Interesting that earlier albums rank higher for me and later albums lower. Not a bad album in the bunch though!
Yield is tops, so give it 5 points. Everything else is kinda tied for me, honestly. But for the sake of the poll, here goes:
1. Yield (5)
2. Binaural (4)
3. Vitalogy (3)
4. Vs. (2)
5. Pearl Jam (1)
Really tough to leave Backspacer & No Code out. If you ask me to do this again a month, 6 months, a year, 3 years down the road I'm sure it would be completely different.
