I don't know if anyone has done special versions of the prequels, so I'd just watch them as-is. George Lucas hasn't re-released a fucked-up version of those (yet, anyway).
In my own opinion, these are the exact versions of the original series I recommend:
05-Star.Wars.4K77.2160p.UHD.no-DNR.35mm.x265-v1.0.mkv
The.Empire.Strikes.Back.1980.D+80.v2.1.UHD.2160p-oohteedee.mkv
03-Return.of.the.Jedi.4K83.35mm.minimalNR.v1.6.UHD.2160p.mkv
Or the 1080p versions if 2k is too much for you. I didn't make notes about why I preferred each one when choosing them a few years ago, so if there are any newer edits you might evaluate them yourself. And apparently Radarr overwrote my selections at one point because none of my file sizes match the table...
Watch the L8Wrtr edits of the prequel trilogy, then the Despecialized versions of the OG trilogy. Some say to watch in release order. I don't think it matters as much as watching the content as it was originally created, and without the stupid fluff in the prequel trilogy.
Watch the original Star Wars, then The Empire Strikes Back, then Return of the Jedi. The versions you found are good.
Here's the important bit, turn off Jedi as soon as you see a fat fuzzy walking teddy bear creature. The introduction of the Ewoks is when Star Wars dies.
Watch Ep 4, Ep 5, Ep 6 stop. Watch Ep1 as a non canon. Throw the rest in the trash.
I've watched/have the Anti-cheese Edits of the Prequels I-III, and the De-Specialized Edits of Episodes IV-VI, and truly enjoyed both.
I don't recall seeing 4k versions of either of these available yet, nor am I aware of suitable source re-leases that could be used to make such. Best of luck to you.
Unpopular opinion: just watch Visions S1&2 and then forget about the rest.
Rogue One, A New Hope, The Blackened Mantle, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and you're done.
