I plan on traversing Band of Brothers again around Memorial Day. Is it worth buying on Kscape v just streaming on Max in terms of video and/or audio quality?

Yes, I have it an it's worth it. The Kscape version is comparable to the disc version, plus it has lossless sound, DTS-HD MA 5.1 much better than streaming
 
The best version in home video are the Japanese Blu-ray and HD-DVD releases. Both are difficult to source and expensive when they show up for sale.

The US Blu-ray release has some digital video noise reduction applied which causes slight loss of detail. It is still better than all streaming versions. Kaleidescape version matches the US Blu-ray release in both sound and picture quality.

I would go with the K version unless you are very critical about this series then try to track down the Japanese release from a decade ago.
