My favorite SA boots:
Buenos Aires
Porto Alegre
Curitiba
Rio
Canada:
Toronto 1
Hamilton
Vancouver
EV 07-6-2011, LA1 11/23/2013, LA2 11/24/2013
I wouldn't go with Edmonton due to the band's decision to remove Come Back from the boot, supposedly because they "butchered" it. We don't really know for sure why it was removed, but we are sure it was at the band's request. Anyways, I have listened to 15 of the 2011 boots almost entirely. Out of those 15, I can safely say that Lima is the best of the bunch. The setlist may not be the most exciting, but setlist alone doesn't make a show great. The performance is absolutely rock solid. It has to be the tightest, most error free show from the tour. Toronto 1, Vancouver, and Porto Alegre are also very tight performance wise, and have above average setlists (in my opinion). Winnipeg is a very solid show that took me by surprise. The setlist was my least favorite out of the Canadian tour, but the show was actually really good.
On the other hand, I found Montreal and Toronto 2 to be relatively disappointing from a bootleg standpoint (especially Montreal) because of how many mistakes are made. A few flub ups are usual, but those two shows contain true screw ups. The band almost quits playing in the middle of Sleight of Hand in Montreal and Gods' Dice in Toronto 2.
Out of the 15 2011 boots I have listened to this is my ranking from best to average, no PJ show is bad Based mostly on performance and flow of the show, more so than whether the set is filled with rarities.

The 2011 South America boots sound quality is a bit better than the Canadian boots. But you're right, 2011 was an underrated tour and made for some of the best bootlegs. I would disagree on your high ranking of Buenos Aires. Obviously it's purely subjective opinion, but I felt the band's performance to be relatively average. The setlist is pretty good but with an awkward flow at times, especially the first encore. Now the crowd, MY GOD, that is another story

Well, it is PJ, so it's hard to find anything better to listen to; even if the boot is incomplete
