A well-made documentary and trailers/TV ads are the most rewarding for what they are, usually. Commentaries are cool, but I'll only listen if it's a favorite movie, the commentator is someone I care about, or it's a film that's interesting/complex enough to get some further details.
The lamest are usually the aforementioned DVD-ROM and 'storyboards.'

I think it depends on the film. For foreign films I tend to really like having an audio commentary available, especially if the commentary includes cultural footnotes that I, as an American, may have missed in the film.
But since commentaries can be hit and miss, otherwise I lean toward deleted scenes and trailers.
Documentaries on classic films can be good, but most docs on new releases are fluff pieces not worth the disc space they eat up.
But of course what matters most to me is a good transfer in OAR.
