"Ghost of Mrs Muir" already has a great sounding recording.
How about the musics BH did for Orson Welles's Radio show? I don't how interesting they are, but... who knows, right?
I do have "The Moat Farm Murders" suite and used to have the "War of the Worlds" LP, but what about the rest?
There's also "Twisted Nerves" with its famous theme used in Kill Bill and... a french commercial for Citroën, although I'm not sure the rest of the music is really worth it.

Ghost and Mrs. Muir has a great-sounding recording and a complete recording, but it does not have a great-sounding complete recording. It's also one of Herrmann's most popular scores and so would probably sell well despite those two prior recordings.
Twisted Nerve was released complete by Stylotone (albeit expensively with extra bells and whistles that most people wouldn't want to buy): https://store.stylotone.com/products/twisted-nerve-super-deluxe-edition-yellow

Just to be clear, are we also taking into account the stuff he could potentially be recording for Intrada?
As for stuff Bill could record not already up for consideration with Intrada, I wouldn't mind seeing him re-do Hunchback of Notre Dame with the rest of the score if no tapes of the original recording turn up (it also wasn't his best re-recording). The Mark of Zorro would also be a good choice.

Well Varese did re-release one of the scores they controlled from the box set, albeit at only 500 copies. Ghost and Mrs. Muir is a popular score and would make sense to be the next one that gets that treatment. I can't imagine the fast sell-out of that 500 copy edition would discourage Varese from reissuing others they control.

More Alfred! 
Since it looks like we've half-convinced James to rerecord Captain of Castile, how about
Song of Bernadette, How the West Was Won, Anastasia, Mark of Zorro?

We can rule out Endless Night since Quartet is apparently planning on recording that as a follow-up to their recording of Bride Wore Black, as revealed in that disc's corresponding thread.

JOAN OF ARC for Intrada's next kickstarter.
I would love to see a re-recording of Joan of Arc. While I have a feeling it won't be the next Kickstarter, its standing in the poll gives me hope that Intrada will keep it under consideration.

Basil, the only problem with Elmer Bernstein's superb Ghost and Mrs. Muir recording is that he left off my single favorite cue (a substantial one). So yeah, I'd definitely buy a good re-recording of the full score.
But of course I would definitely prioritize scores that are otherwise completely lost (so glad to hear Endless Night is coming)...which is why, WA, I would prefer The Mark of Zorro get tackled of the other Newman options you suggested. Well, if I allow myself to be perfectly honest (and hypocritical), Captain from Castile would excite me even more even though the existing SAE album sounds very good for 1947. But it is my single favorite Golden Age score so I would FLIP to hear it in modern sound. Plus the neat prologue cue is lost...so there would be some new music premiered!
