Since I already own these soundtracks, there is comparatively little reason for me to re-buy them. The Blu-ray instead of the DVD-audio is the step to go these days I'd say, though I don't see how the sound quality should differ. It's just the more current format.

Oh, I forgot about stupid question, but...
I love LOTR films & music, but to my shame, I never own any peace of music from it (when I missed original CR, I decided to wait and not to buy even OSTs  )
So, can anyone say me, do I need to buy original 1 disc editions too?
As I understand, this CR contain music, as it was used in movies.
But maybe original OST contains different takes, or tracks were edited, and that tracks are unique, so if I want to get all music, I also must buy them too?
I know that I also need to get the book (with rarities on CD). But what's about original OSTs? 
Thanks

Fellowship OST is a must - it includes a significant amount of different and wonderful music. I think the other two OSTs hew largely towards the film versions, although somebody can feel free to correct me.

Others will know more about than I do. But, i have the single discs and the CR sets. I much prefer the CR sets, because the sheer breadth of musical development and substantial music not on the single discs (which, at 70+ minutes each, are generous for a single disc).
I don't believe there is any music on the single discs not on the CR sets. Of course, the album edits on the single disc may be preferable to some. I just enjoy the longer, more developed quality of the CR sets. Plus, so much more great Shore music!
Lastly, I think the only thing not on the CR sets is the music under the fan credits on each of the extended editions of the films. These are nice, long suites. Again, others will know more. But, I don't believe there is music in those fan credit sequences not on the CR, just done in a different, suite like, fashion.

There is lots of music on the original OST albums and Rarities Archive that is not in the CR sets.
Additionally, there is even more music heard in the films or recorded for the films but unused that ended up turning up in documentaries and other special features, that cannot be found on any release.

Oh did not know.
Are the CR performances from the film or recorded for the albums. Or a mix of both.
Nothing for LOTR was recorded specifically for album use that I'm aware of; Everything recorded was meant to be used in the film at the time it was recorded. It's just that as production went on, rewrites happened, alternate versions got recorded, etc. The CR largely presents the versions chosen for the final film, with the Rarities Archive and OSTs largely present the earlier versions that got replaced in the final film.
Of course LOTR was a unique case where after the theatrical cuts happened, PJ created the Extended Edition cuts, all of which had additional music written and recorded, some of which replaced all or portions of theatrical compositions. The CR sets include the EE compositions and inserts throughout, and you can find some of the earlier theatrical versions on the OST albums or Rarities Archive. Some theatrical versions still remain unreleased.
