I consider anything under 256kbps to be not worth getting unless it's the only ever rip of something that doesn't exist anymore. If its lossy it should be 320kbps mp3 ideally.

I also try to stay away from VBR rips

    You just say it should not, but why? As said 160kbp ogg is for most people not distinguishable from uncompressed. I think it is worth archiving this, especially if it is in mass like this. Why do you stay away from VBR?

    Archival should be as close to source quality as possible. VBR just adds more noise to the audio whether you can hear it or not. That means copying it to different mediums will eventually start to notice the quality reduction over time.
